Effects of chlorination of water in tap water system.
Introduction:
Chlorination of water is the addition of chlorine or hypochlorite in water. It is the easiest method used to kill some microbes and bacteriafrom tap water. Chlorine in water acts as a disinfectant and was added to the tap water supplies, which kills disease pathogens like protozoans, bacteria, and viruses. Water chlorination can be done to get rid ofa diseaselike cholera, typhoid, and dysentery are the air-borne diseases.
Chlorine is a strong oxidizing agent, which can be manufactured by salt

- 1) The harmful effects took a while for people to understand. It took a while for scientific research to definitively link lead exposure to a number of health issues. Additionally, by downplaying its negative effects and fostering a lack of awareness, the lead industry significantly contributed to the adoption of leaded gasoline. Economic factors were important because leaded gasoline at first was supposed to improve engine performance and lessen engine knocking. The EPA released a rule in March 1985 that would reduce the amount of lead used in gasoline by more than ten times in less than a year (Nichols, 1997). Debates and controversies in science regarding lead's health effects further complicated the regulatory environment, with industries taking advantage of confusion to prevent necessary reforms. 2) The significance of responsible innovation and corporate accountability is the most interesting lesson.
