Water Pros "Paul The Water Man" Chloramine Fact Sheet
The source of Chloramine is from our municipal water treatment. Aqueous chlorine reacts with certain organic materials present in water sources to form trihalomethanes (THMs). Long term exposure to these harmful byproducts of disinfection has been linked to an increased risk of cancer and infant birth delivery problems. It is estimated that THMs in drinking water are responsible for as many as 2-17 percent of bladder cancers diagnosed each year in the United States. To Protect the public, the US Environmental Protection Agency has established a maximum contaminate level of 0.08 ppm for THMs Find More information at www.wqa.org Chloramine Fact Sheet.
