Lorsqu'on effectue la chloration d’une eau contenant de l'ammoniac libre ou combiné avec des doses croissantes de chlore, on atteint le break point quand la teneur en chlore résiduel, qui était nulle, commence à augmenter; on a alors détruit tous les organismes vivants et les matières organiques. Chloration au break point=chloration normale; chloration au-delà du break point=surchloration. 1, record 1, French, - point%20de%20chloration

L'habitude qui s’est instaurée de comparer la teneur d’une eau naturelle en oxygène à celle qu'elle aurait si elle pouvait en contenir le plus a donné naissance à la notion de teneur à la saturation. [Olszewski] a montré que la valeur théorique ne correspondait pas toujours à la valeur réelle obtenue en mélangeant intimement l'air atmosphérique et l'eau naturelle(...) La notion de saturation doit alors être remplacée par celle de norme, [et] la valeur à la saturation par des points de norme(ou mieux valeur normale). 1, record 3, French, - valeur%20%C3%A0%20la%20saturation
