WHAT IS CHLORAMINATION?
Chloramination is the process of adding chloramines to drinking water to disinfect it and kill germs. It is sometimes used as an alternative to chlorination. Chloramines are a group of chemical compounds that contain chlorine and ammonia. The particular type of chloramines used in drinking water disinfection is called mono-chloramines which is mixed into water at levels that kill germs but are still safe to drink.
HEALTH RELATED CONCERNS
Studies indicate that using or drinking water with small amounts of chloramines does not cause harmful health effects and provides protection against waterborne disease outbreaks. These studies reported no observed health effects from drinking water with chloramines levels of less than 50 milligrams per litre (mg/L) in drinking water. A normal level for drinking water disinfection can range from 1.0 to 4.0 mg/L.
Your water company monitors water quality regularly to provide you with safe drinking water. Some people are more sensitive than others to chemicals and changes in their environment. Individuals who have health concerns should seek medical advice from their healthcare provider before contacting their local health department.
WHAT ARE SAFE LEVELS OF CHLORAMINE IN WATER?
Chloramines levels up to 4 milligrams per litre (mg/L) or 4 parts per million (ppm) are considered safe in drinking water. At these levels, harmful health effects are unlikely to occur.
CHLOROAMINE & DIALYSIS
During dialysis, large amounts of water are used to clean waste products out of a patient’s blood. Dialysis centres must treat the water to remove all chemical disinfectants, including chlorine and chloramines, before the water can be used for dialysis. Home dialysis users should consult the machine manufacturer for instructions on how to properly treat their water before use.
WILL CHLORAMINE AFFECT MY WATER’S TASTE OR SMELL?
If you notice any change in the taste or smell of your water, it may be that the water treated with chloramines has less of a “chlorine” taste and smell than water treated with chlorine.
