CHAPTER X
RESULTS OBTAINED
The object of adding chlorine or chlorine compounds to water is for the purpose of destroying any pathogenic organisms that may be present. In a few instances some collateral advantages are also obtained but, in general, no other object is aimed at or secured.
Chlorination does not change the physical appearance of water; it does not reduce or increase the turbidity nor does it decrease the colour in an appreciable degree.
