Chlorine is used in many countries and its use as a water disinfectant has proved to be of enormous public health benefit. Its chemistry in natural waters is very complex as a result of chemical reactions with natural organics, ammonia, etc. and most measurement techniques respond to many different chemical species which complicates the interpretation of results. The project reviewed current techniques for measuring chlorine in natural waters, taking into consideration the complex chemistry and make recommendations for further research.
