Les phénols et leurs dérivés sont l’indice d’une pollution industrielle. Leur nuisance la plus marquante est le goût de chlorophénol qui apparaît dans l’eau en présence de chlore [...] 3, record 1, French, - go%C3%BBt%20de%20chloroph%C3%A9nol
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Lorsque l'eau de rivière contient même une très faible quantité de phénols, d’origine naturelle ou industrielle, elle présente, si on la traite par le chlore, des goûts très désagréables. On pallie cet inconvénient en opérant avec le bioxyde de chlore de préférence au chlore gazeux ou à l'hypochlorite de sodium. [...] Le problème ne se pose évidemment plus lorsque la désinfection de l'eau est faite au moyen de l'ozone. 4, record 1, French, - go%C3%BBt%20de%20chloroph%C3%A9nol
