Abstract

Chloramines have been used in water treatment since the early 1900s (Wolfe et al., 1984) and renewed interest in their use occurred in recent years since they represent a viable alternative for the control of trihalomethanes (THMs). Other advantages of using chloramines include increased residual stability, reduction in odor problems caused by chlorination, and the lowest cost among main alternatives (Wolfe et al., 1984).
