Chloramines
Chloramines are chemical compounds that consist of chlorine and ammonia. They are commonly used as disinfectants in water treatment to kill bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. Chloramines are formed when chlorine is added to water containing ammonia, and they provide longer-lasting disinfection compared to chlorine alone. However, chloramines can also produce byproducts that may have health risks, so proper monitoring and control of chloramine levels are essential in water treatment processes.
