Other primary disinfection technologies—chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone, UV radiation, and organic disinfectants—are discussed elsewhere (1-3,17-27) in detail. Because most of the utilities that are affected by the Surface Water Treatment Rules and the Ground-Water Disinfection Treatment Rules serve less than 10,000 persons, this chapter wiU emphasize the applications of chlorination and chloramination processes to both small and large utilities. Table 1 indicates that both chlorination and chloramination are comparatively simpler than ozonation UV processes.

As these species are human carcinogens, the US EPA and the enviromnental agencies in other countries are seeking to limit the use of chlorine in drinking water. In the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, chlorine consumption will decrease as water treatment operations switch to different disinfectant technologies. However, chlorine consumption will increase in less-developed countries as more water treatment plants go in. 

Chlorine has provided great contributions in the fight against epidemics of typhoid and cholera. It is also used as an effective disinfectant of water in everyday situations for cleaning of drinking water and swimming baths. Chlorine also provides residual protection, and is easier and cheaper to use than other disinfection technologies.
