The byproduct of adding chlorine to the water is THMs (trihalomethanes). Some studies have shown that THMs might cause miscarriage and other health effects. Share your thoughts about the statement above based on the learned concepts in the assigned readings and other credible sources. Balance concerns about the side effects of chlorinated drinking water against the hazards of untreated water, which is known to spread diseases such as cholera. Rather than chlorinating the entire municipal water supply, would it better to filter/boil only water actually used for human consumption, rather than the water used to shower in, flush toilets, and to water yards?
