Chloramine is a secondary disinfectant used by municipal water treatment companies to disinfect your drinking water. It is chlorine that has been bonded with ammonia. It has been used since the late 1920s. But after some troubling studies the question is why is chloramine still used?
Multiple Studies have shown that chloramine is not as effective as chlorine in disinfecting water. It also lasts in the water much longer than chlorine. Even more troubling, chloramine has not been thoroughly studied. There have been no good studies on how it affects your skin and very few studies on how it affects your overall health.
One study that was done showed that chloramine caused cancer in female rats. It also caused problems with their reproductive abilities.
When Marin County in California started putting higher levels of chloramine in their water, many women there began to complain of higher levels of cancer and problems with their reproductive systems.
Chloramine also damages the mucous membranes of your lungs. One study showed that it was as damaging to your lungs as smoking. The fumes from chloramine can also agitate existing asthma conditions and cause you to wheeze, cough, choke, and experience shortness of breath.
this map shows all the states where chloramine is used. So, if chloramine is 10,000 times less effective than chlorine at disinfecting our water and lasts much longer and has been connected to respiratory problems and even cancer, why do cities continue to use it?
The same question can be asked as to why cities continue to put chromium-6 in your water when they know it causes cancer? It seems that our municipal water companies are not that concerned about our health. That’s why you should consider treating you’re drinking water yourself.
