Chlorine is the most common chemical disinfectant but the question is:
Is disinfection with chlorine really safe and reliable?
The The hazardshazards of Chlorineof Chlorine
• Chlorine is a suspect carcinogenic agent in drinking water (Mutagen X) Harvard Medical/ Barcelona Study 2007.
• Chlorine can produce hazardous chlorinated organic compounds by reaction with common organic compounds found in drinking water.
• These hazardous compounds include trihalomethane (THM) , mono-,di and trichloroacetic acids (HAA)
• Mutagen X cancer potency is 170 times greater than chloroform. (Harvard Medical School) • Mutagen X, THM and HAA are linked to cancer, miscarriages, stillbirths and birth defects
Other problems with Other problems with Chlorine Chlorine
• Chlorine is pH dependent. It only works in a narrow pH range from about 7 to 8.5
• Chlorine is corrosive
• Chlorine is hazardous to transport, store and use
• Chlorine does not kill ALL microorganisms in water
• Chlorine does not effectively remove biofilm and algae
• Chlorine generates byproducts that pose a proven risk to human health
What is chlorine dioxide (ClO2)?
It has chlorine in its name but it is not chlorine.
Think of it this way….
Water (H20) is made from two parts hydrogen gas with one part oxygen gas…but it is neither hydrogen nor oxygen; it is water an entirely different substance.
Similarly, chlorine dioxide is neither chlorine nor oxygen but an entirely new substance.
