Assessing Potential Short-Term Impacts of Chloramination

Abstract

This project (1) synthesized existing knowledge on the acute human health effects associated with exposure to chloraminated water, (2) discussed these with respect to possible public health impacts for future communication and management efforts related to monochloramine use in drinking water, and (3) identified the path forward to better inform our understanding regarding possible acute health effects of exposure to chloraminated drinking water. Published in 2015.
