The major purpose of the present investigation was to study the effects of different concentrations of residual chlorine on serum iron related parameters in rats. Feeding male rats with water containing 80 ppm of residual chlorine daily for 5 days reduced serum levels of ceruloplasmin, copper, iron and hemoglobin by approximately 27%,23%,6% and 4%, respectively. Higher reductions in serum ...

The microbial quality of water plays a key role in community health. The present study aimed to determine the microbial quality of the drinking water distribution networks in the urban and rural areas of Dasht-e Azadegan County, Iran and assess the influential factors in the quality of drinking water.In this descriptive-analytical study, 907 drinking water samples were collected from the urban ...

background: superficial and cutaneous fungal infections can be transmitted through using covered swimming pools. this study was conducted in order to assess the dermatophyte fungi, ph and residual chlorine levels in covered pools of yazd, iran in 2009. methods: in the current descriptive cross-sectional study, carpet sampling was used to collect 100 samples from different areas of 4 randomly se...

the aim of this study was to determine the concentration of free residual chlorine in the effluent at different concentrations of chlorine injection, between 50 to 350 ppm, at the ph levels of 6, 6.5 and 7 and the effect of chlorination on ph, electrical conductivity and the concentration of total dissolved solids in drinking water and effluent. the results showed that the concentration of free...

Society’s preference for bottled water mainly comes from a dislike of the mildly pungent taste and odor of tap water. Such odor and taste may be caused by chlorine residual (in the form of free chlorine or chloramines), which is maintained in a water distribution system to prevent regrowth of microorganisms and is thus present in tap water. To encourage individuals who drink bottled water to sh...
