Cellular waste products are formed as a by-product of cellular respiration, a series of processes and reactions that generate energy for the cell, in the form of ATP. One example of cellular respiration creating cellular waste products are aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration .
Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are organic and inorganic compounds resulting from chemical reactions between organic and inorganic substances such as contaminates and chemical treatment disinfection agents, respectively, in water during water disinfection processes.
N-Chloropiperidine is a rare example of an organic chloramine. [5] Chloramine-T is often referred to as a chloramine, but it is really a salt (CH 3 C 6 H 4 SO 2 NClNa) derived from a chloramine. [6] Organic chloramines feature the NCl functional group attached to an organic substituent.
A previously unidentified chemical has been discovered in the tap water of about one-third of U.S. homes, a new study has found, and scientists are actively investigating whether it's toxic.
A 2008 study indicated that sodium hypochlorite and organic chemicals (e.g., surfactants, fragrances) contained in several household cleaning products can react to generate chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs). [12] These chlorinated compounds are emitted during cleaning applications, some of which are toxic and probable human carcinogens.
Monochloramine, often called chloramine, is the chemical compound with the formula NH 2 Cl. Together with dichloramine (NHCl 2 ) and nitrogen trichloride (NCl 3 ), it is one of the three chloramines of ammonia . [ 3 ]
As mentioned above, the phase-out of PFOA didn't go into effect until 2013, which means that if you bought an item produced any earlier than that, it is coated with the known toxic chemical.
The chloronitramide anion was first detected as a UV absorbance interference during monitoring of chloramine and dichloramine in 1981. [6] It was then shown to form during the decomposition of both chemicals. [6] It was shown to likely be an anion in 1990. [7]
