Why are Chlorides harmful and why should they be removed?

Chlorides may get into surface water from several sources including:

  • Rocks containing chlorides,
  • Agricultural runoff,
  • Wastewater from industries,
  • Oil well wastes, and
  • Effluent wastewater from wastewater treatment plants.

Chlorides can corrode metals and affect the taste of food products. Therefore, water that is used in industry or processed for any use has a recommended maximum chloride level. Chlorides can contaminate freshwater streams and lakes. Fish and aquatic communities cannot survive in high levels of chlorides.
