The disinfectant monochloramine minimizes the formation of potentially hazardous and regulated byproducts, and many drinking water utilities are shifting to its use.
After a drinking water utility serving 2.4 million people switched to monochloramine for residual disinfection, a small number of residents complained of dermatitis reactions. We interviewed 17 people about their symptoms. Skin appearance, symptoms, and exposures were heterogeneous. Five respondents had history of hives or rash that preceded the switch to monochloramine.
The complaints described were heterogeneous, and many of the respondents had underlying or preexisting conditions that would offer plausible alternative explanations for their symptoms. We did not recommend further study of these complaints.
消毒剂一氯胺可减少潜在有害且受监管的副产物的形成，许多饮用水公用事业公司正转向使用它。
在一家为240万人提供服务的饮用水公用事业公司改用一氯胺进行残留消毒后，少数居民抱怨出现了皮炎反应。我们采访了17人了解他们的症状。皮肤外观、症状和接触情况各不相同。五名受访者在改用一氯胺之前有荨麻疹或皮疹病史。
所描述的投诉各不相同，许多受访者有潜在或先前存在的疾病，这些疾病可为他们的症状提供合理的其他解释。我们不建议对这些投诉进行进一步研究。
