deactivation of pathogenic microorganisms. Chlorine can be easily applied, measures and controlled. Is is fairly persistent and relatively cheap.
Chlorine has been used for applications, such as the deactivation of pathogens in drinking water, swimming pool waterand waste water , for the disinfection of household areas and for textile bleaching, for more than two hundred years. When chlorine was discovered we did not now that disease was caused by microorganisms. In the nineteenth century doctors and scientists discovered that many diseases are contagious and that the spread of disease can be prevented by the disinfection of hospital areas. Very soon afterward, we started experimenting with chlorine as a disinfectant. In 1835 doctor and writer Oliver Wendel Holmes advised midwifes to wash their hands in calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)2-4H2O) to prevent a spread of midwifes fever.
However, we only started using disinfectants on a wider scale in the nineteenth century, after Louis Pasteur discovered that microorganisms spread certain diseases.
Chlorine has played an important role in lenghthening
cholrine is used to kill disease-causing microorganisms
So if you decide you need to take a leak, it will still be fine to drink.
I'm asking the question on ask us anything i dont get it
Chlorine is most commonly used to keep Swimming Pools clean, but in emergency cases it can be used to sterilize water but it will affect the taste of the water...
All sorts of things are added to water, from whiskey to orange juice. If you mean added by the public water supply company, the common ones are chlorine to kill bacteria and fluoride to reduce tooth decay.
Drinking water? Of course not! For the purification of the pool, maybe. That's why people who swim too much get red eyes...
Process from raw water should be as followed. 1. From raw water to municipal tap water or drinking water Filtration -> Flocculation -> Sedimentation -> Ozonation/UV/Chlorine disinfection In the country that use Chlorine disinfection, it would required Activated carbon to absorb out the chlorine smell or boil out the chlorine smell. 2. Producing of bottle drinking water Filtration -> Reverse Osmosis -> re-mineralize (add back Calcium, magnesium etc to improve taste) -> UV disinfection -> Bottling
ratio of chlorine to drinking water ?
Bacteria (usually) can be killed with ordinary soap or diluted cholrine bleach.
chlorine is used every day, in everything from pools and our drinking water.
chlorine
beacause chlorine is a chemical used to clean water
Tap water contains chlorine to ensure no bacteria in the available drinking water source. Chlorine is also used in pools for the same reason. The disadvantage of having chlorine in our drinking water is that if we use it to water plants, it does about as much harm as good. The same rule applies to drinking that same water, as chlorine in the stomach causes acid reflux and erosive esophigitis as the chlorine becomes chlorine gas and is unhealthy. The best thing you can do is filter tap water by way of a charcoal filtering system.
because the drinking water contains chlorine, which will kill the fish
Yes. Chlorine is an addition to drinking water supplies to help kill bacteria. It is not necessary for the water to be drinkable but the chlorine stops many diseases from spreading and so for general public healt it is common practice. There have been a great many studies done about whether or not the addition of chlorine to drinking water causes birth defects or other health-related problems.
yes
