Trichloramine in the air of indoor pools
In the air of chlorinated indoor swimming pools, trichloramine, a volatile and irritant compound with a penetrating odour, forms as a disinfection by-product when chlorine reacts with nitrogen compounds; acid amides, especially urea, as well as ammonium ions and α-amino acids, were its most efficient precursors at acidic and neutral pH.
Formation chemistry and water-to-air transfer of trichloramine, studied experimentally and by calculation; it does not measure the air of a particular pool.
The statement the claim rests on was found word for word in the abstract fetched from the named service, and an editor read the full abstract against every part of the claim. Abstract from Europe PMC (ebi.ac.uk/europepmc).
