In recent decades, monochloramine has become a valuable ally in ensuring microbiological safety in complex water systems, such as those in hospitals, public buildings, and industrial facilities. However, its increasing use has also raised questions, doubts and, in some cases, outright fears. One of the most common: Can it cause allergies?

A brief history and characteristics of the molecule used since the early 20th century to ensure effective and long-lasting disinfectant coverage, thanks to its stability.

Reaction stoichiometry, pH control, controlled on-site production, and inline dosing: strategies for optimizing the yield of monochloramine formation.

The peculiarity of the Cl-N bond, which makes monochloramine an atypical oxidant and explains its chemical behaviour and disinfecting properties.
