Abstract

Reviews some of the chemistry and environmental hazards associatedwith chlorine and bromine compounds when used as water disinfectants inmany industrial processes. Lays emphasis on the oxidation of bromide bychlorine to bromate, a suspected genotoxin. A risk assessment of thepredicted presence is detailed. In view of the formation of haloformsand other noxious substances derived from chlorine, some of theadvantages of the use of chlorine dioxide are detailed.
