Revision history [back]
Intuitively and based on memory this should not be a problem. The risk of using chlorine I believe relates to some of the compounds it creates when reacting with impurities rather than tanks. The main point however is that this risk has to be balanced against the risk of not disinfecting such as AWD especially in crowded camps. Last time I read a paper about chlorination in UK for instance, the conclusion was the risks of not chlorinating were higher than those associated with chlorinating. I would suggest that Haiti would be even more so.
