Question

The desirable limit of chloride content as per bis standards in water for domestic supplies should not exceed

Answer 1

The desirable limit of chloride content as per bis standards in water for domestic supplies should not exceed 250 mg / L.

Chloride is a salt that is present naturally in the water.

Further the addition of chlorine to purify water through chlorination increases the chloride content.

The Bureau of Indian standards (BIS) is the government body responsible for establishing standards in various fields for consumer protection.

According to the IS 10500 : 2012 the BIS standards the maximum acceptable limit for chloride content in water used for domestic purpose is 250 mg/Liter and the maximum permissible limit is 100 mg/Liter.

Hope this helps.
