Hi, Chlorine and all the ...

Hi,

Chlorine and all the remaining disinfectants (chloramine, ozone, UV, etc.) are killing agents. However, these chemical products are highly toxic by their selves. Moreover, they interact with natural organic matter (NOM), microorganisms, and algae to produce Disinfection by-products (DBPs) which are as well poisonous. The use of disinfectants must be avoided or at least reduced as possible at the lowest level.

You may find some useful papers about disinfection process and DBPs in my personal page in academia.edu (search Djamel Ghernaout).
