1.Chloramine 

One of the suppliers of Chloramine (CAS No. 127-52-6), Hangzhou Chemfar Ltd., which has more than 20 years' experience focused on providing integrated development and manufacturing service to the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industry, shows that using chloramine to disinfect drinking water is a common standard practice among drinking water utilities. A number of utilities have made this switch from chlorine to chloramines to enhance water safety and compliance with drinking water health standards. But, the chloramine is toxic or non-toxic.

2.Chloramine toxicity

Chloramine Toxicity, which can occur in chlorine or chloramine treated waters. Chloramine toxicity can occur because chloramine levels are more complicated to regulate than chlorine levels. Failure to properly control and monitor the treatment process can cause undesirable chemical reactions. Chloramines, like chlorine, are toxic to fish and amphibians at levels used for drinking water. Unlike chlorine, chloramines do not rapidly dissipate on standing. Neither do they dissipate by boiling. Fish owners must neutralize or remove chloramines from water used in aquariums or ponds.

Even though Chloramine toxicity may be a concern, disinfecting tap water is critical to protect the public from disease-causing microorganisms. Chloramine is also used as a disinfectant used to treat drinking water. It is formed by mixing chlorine with ammonia. Although it is a weaker disinfectant than chlorine, it is more stable.
