Importance
Disinfection is a process that kills disease-causing organisms (or pathogens). Chlorine (Cl2) is a common disinfectant when mixed with purified water, it reacts to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). HOCl (active residual chlorine) is the most effective form of chlorine for disinfecting swimming pools, spas, and drinking water.
Municipal drinking water is supplied with elemental chlorine as chlorine gas, liquid sodium hypochlorite, or dry calcium hypochlorite. In water, residual chlorine ions in these forms will kill pathogens, reduce odors, remove bacteria and other undesirable elements. USEPA requires the presence of disinfectants in final drinking water, so it must ensure that disinfectants are present throughout the distribution system, of which active chlorine is one of the disinfectants. However, EPA has also established a maximum residual chlorine concentration of 4.0 mg/L, above which chlorine will be harmful to health.
