And of course they don’t say if it’s filterable.

Still, if people are currently concerned about their drinking water while any potential toxicity is yet to be evaluated, study author David Wahman said in the briefing that previous literature has shown the by-product to be removed by activated carbon.
So a standard Britta-like filter is all you need.
Tldr: chloronitramide anion, a decay product of the chloramine disinfectant routinely added to water. No one knows if it’s toxic.
Well I’m pretty sure that drinking water treated with chloramine is far preferable to drinking untreated water, so even if it is toxic, it’s not toxic enough at current levels to merit concern.
It’s still worth investigating, because it’s good to have confirmation.
Might help to filter out the chemicals before drinking.
You can’t really “filter” out these chemicals when they’re fully dissolved in the water.
There’s always distillation, but that’s not practical at all on the scale of drinking water for cities.
You can for this. See my comment: https://ponder.cat/post/752896/1007500
Ah, interesting. Didn’t think it would be caught by activated carbon. Good to know, thanks.
We have a home distiller and use it for all our drinking water. It’s very easy to use. Highly recommend.
What brand or model?
I had thought activated charcoal could remove the chemicals. No I don’t mean city scale. I meant after the water comes out of the tap but before you drink it. City water has to be treated to not harbor too many germs.
It does for this. See: https://ponder.cat/post/752896/1007500
Definitely filter out that H2O chemical
There’s di-hydrogen monoxide in the water!
Cool. Another thing we need to fucking worried about.
