What is Chlorine (Total)?
Chlorine is a chemical element with the symbol Cl and atomic number 17. It is a yellow-green gas at room temperature and is a strong oxidizing agent. Chlorine is commonly used in water treatment to kill bacteria and other pathogens, making water safe for drinking.
Health Effects
Exposure to chlorine can cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, and eye irritation. Ingesting high levels of chlorine can lead to gastrointestinal distress and other serious health problems.
Affected Organs
Common Sources
Total THMs
What is Total THMs?
Group of contaminants that form in drinking water systems when a disinfectant, typically chlorine, reacts with organic matter
Health Effects
Drinking water standards for total THMs are based on evidence of carcinogenicity in human and animal studies, as well as liver and kidney toxicity observed in animal studies. Individual THMs have been further associated with developmental, immune, spleen, and genotoxicity.
Affected Organs
Common Sources
Thallium
What is Thallium?
Highly toxic metal produced as a byproduct of smelting and coal-burning facilities and then used primarily in the manufacture of electronic devices. Thallium is frequently found combined with other substances such as bromine, chlorine, fluorine, and iodine to form salts.
Health Effects
Drinking water standards for thallium are set to protect against hair loss, changes in blood chemistry, and kidney, intestine, and liver problems from long-term exposure. Thallium is highly toxic and can be fatal at relatively low doses.
