Chlorine is widely used in Australian water treatment to kill harmful bacteria and pathogens, ensuring safe drinking water. However, while chlorine is essential for disinfection, it can also react with organic matter in the water to form disinfection byproducts (DBPs), which may pose health risks. Understanding these chemicals and how to reduce their presence in your water is crucial for your family’s wellbeing.

In this article, we discuss the role of chlorine, the risks of disinfection byproducts, and how EvaPure filtration systems protect your water and health.

Why Is Chlorine Used in Drinking Water?

Chlorine effectively kills harmful microorganisms, preventing waterborne diseases such as cholera and typhoid. It also helps keep water safe as it travels through pipes to your home.

What Are Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs)?

When chlorine reacts with natural organic matter (leaves, soil, etc.) in water, it can form DBPs like trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs). Long-term exposure to some DBPs has been linked to:

  • Increased risk of cancer.

  • Reproductive issues.

  • Liver, kidney, and central nervous system problems.

While water authorities regulate DBP levels, traces still remain in tap water.

Health Concerns Linked to Chlorine and DBPs

Some people may experience:

  • Skin and eye irritation.

  • Respiratory issues from chlorine vapours.

  • Concerns about the cumulative effects of low-level exposure to DBPs.

Children and sensitive individuals may be more vulnerable.
