Book cover Chlorine and the Environment

  • 223 Accesses

Abstract

Chlorine was first introduced as a large-scale drinking water disinfectant in Boston, USA, in 1908. Its use, initially in the form of sodium hypochlorite, brought dramatic reductions in the prevalence of water-borne diseases (Bullet al.1990). Elemental chlorine rapidly became the most widely used disinfectant. Currently, water treatment accounts for 6% of chlorine production, or 2.9 million tonnes of 1996’s total global consumption of 48.8 million tonnes (Chemical Week 1998).
