There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
method of disinfection using chloramination; more than 1 in 5 Americans uses drinking water treated with chloramines. Chloramination involves the addition of anhydrous or aqueous ammonia (NH 3) before or after the addition of chlorine (HOCl) to produce monochloramine (NH 2 Cl). This reaction is as follows: NH 3 + HOCl = NH 2 Cl + H 2 O
