AQUATIC FATE: Dilute solutions of chloramine slowly decompose to form nitrogen gas, hydrochloric acid and ammonium chloride(1,2). Biodegradation data were not available(SRC, 2005).

Chloramine half-lives ranging from 9 to 420 hours have been reported in water(1). Dilute solutions of chloramine slowly decompose to form nitrogen gas, hydrochloric acid and ammonium chloride(2).

INORGANIC CHLORAMINES ARE FREQUENT CONSTITUENTS OF CHLORINATED WASTE & NATURAL WATERS.

Occupational exposure to chloramine may occur through dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where chloramine is produced or used. The general population may be exposed to chloramine through the drinking water where that contains chloramine which is used as a disinfectant for water sources. The general population may also be exposed to chloramine by its formation in situ when ammonia and chloride solutions are combined. (SRC)

Trichloramine, which is formed from chloramine, has been detected in the atmosphere at indoor swimming pools(1).

Chloramine is produced and used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of amines and hydrazine. This product tends to be synthesized in situ and used in chemical reactions. Chloramine decomposes violently to nitrogen oxide gas and ammonium chloride at temperatures above -50 °C. Dilute solutions of chloramine slowly decompose to form nitrogen gas, hydrochloric acid and ammonium chloride. Chloramine can be formed in situ by the combination of ammonia and chlorine containing agents under basic conditions. Biodegradation data were not available. Occupational exposure to chloramine may occur through dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where chloramine is produced or used. The general population may be exposed to chloramine from drinking water and in swimming pools that conta...

Chlorination of water containing HCH, heptachlor, metaphos, or chlorophos with chloramine increased /the/ toxicity of pesticides to mice and rats by conversion of pesticides to more toxic products. Organophoshorus pesticides were enhanced more than organochlorine pesticides. Toxic effects given.

Toxic Pneumonitis - Inflammation of the lungs induced by inhalation of metal fumes or toxic gases and vapors.

CLASSIFICATION: D; not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity. BASIS FOR CLASSIFICATION: Based on inadequate human data and equivocal evidence of carcinogenicity from animal bioassays. A 2-year bioassay showed a marginal increase in mononuclear cell leukemia in female F344/N rats. No evidence of carcinogenic activity was reported in male rats or in male or female B6C3F1 mice. Genotoxicity studies, both in vitro and in vivo, gave negative results. HUMAN CARCINOGENICITY DATA: Inadequate. ANIMAL CARCINOGENICITY DATA: Inadequate.
