Tldr: chloronitramide anion, a decay product of the chloramine disinfectant routinely added to water. No one knows if it’s toxic.
Well I’m pretty sure that drinking water treated with chloramine is far preferable to drinking untreated water, so even if it is toxic, it’s not toxic enough at current levels to merit concern.
It’s still worth investigating, because it’s good to have confirmation.
Might help to filter out the chemicals before drinking.
You can’t really “filter” out these chemicals when they’re fully dissolved in the water.
There’s always distillation, but that’s not practical at all on the scale of drinking water for cities.
We have a home distiller and use it for all our drinking water. It’s very easy to use. Highly recommend.
What brand or model?
Thank you. That’s far cheaper than I expected.
It’s toxic to microbes.
Cool. Another thing we need to fucking worried about.
