message: This is an article about a chemical process with slightly controversial usage that has one tangential source.  This really needs help from subject matter experts.  –BozoTheScary (talk) 11:13, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I updated the URL but the title doesn't match and it doesn't support the content. It is used for the same or similar content in other articles, and although the access date is 2012 the earliest additions I can find are by  in 2014. It was possibly added in the wrong place and the next reference is the source that was used. 82.132.187.117 (talk) 16:27, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

message: "...chloroform is produced from organic impurities in the water via the haloform reaction. (Many of these organic impurities are naturally occurring, such as humic substances.) The presence of chloroform in public water is of concern for water treatment plants and environmental officers, because chloroform is carcinogenic."

thread_title:  Section on filtration to remove chlorine? 

message: Many countries (e.g. Switzerland, Austria etc.) in Europe use ozone rather than chlorine for water treatment. The article, however, only speaks of some irrelevant municipalities in the US. Strange. 77.117.54.210 (talk) 19:27, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I have corrected the Rideal historical reference (page number & content) ... However, I have no idea what it means for someone to suggest "disinfecting" water in 1800, some 60 years before the Germ Theory of Disease was seriously proposed...??? Any ideas???? 140.139.35.250 (talk) 14:21, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Rideal quote

message: Why is never pointed out that chlorine destroys the skin and removes the hair. I know that nobody says that, but it is a fact which I observe again and again, personally when coming in contact to chlorine, and statistically, by seeing people in countries with chlorination. I come originally from a country without chlorination, and I know, how much living quality is lost by being provided with chlorinated water instead of clean water. Every textbook in anorganic chemistry tells you that chlorine is a poisining gas. But when it comes to water treatment, voala, a miracle occurs, and chlorine "does not harm at all!". Let us not lie, but list facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.4.122.78 (talk) 12:31, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
