What are the harmful effects of exposure to chlorine and chlorination by-products?
Chlorine is widely used to disinfect drinking water because it effectively kills harmful bacteria and viruses, making it an important public health tool. However, chlorine can affect the taste and odor of water and may cause skin or eye irritation in some people, especially those with sensitive skin. When chlorine reacts with naturally occurring organic matter in water, it can form disinfection by-products such as trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs). Long-term exposure to elevated levels of these by-products has been associated in some studies with an increased risk of certain health problems, which is why the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates their levels in public drinking water. Homeowners who want to reduce chlorine taste, odor, and many chlorination by-products often choose certified activated carbon filtration systems, while reverse osmosis systems can provide additional reduction of many contaminants at the point of use. Regular water testing can help determine the best treatment solution for your home's water.
