Log Removal – a shorthand term for log10 removal, used in reference to the physical-chemical treatment of water to remove, kill, or inactivate pathogenic organisms.

Combined Chlorine - The concentration of residual chlorine that is combined with ammonia (NH3), organic nitrogen, or both in water as chloramine, yet is still available to oxidize organic matter and act as a disinfectant. Combined chlorine can be accurately estimated as the difference between the measured total chlorine and measure or known free chlorine residual.

Log Removal – a shorthand term for log10 removal, used in reference to the physical-chemical treatment of water to remove, kill, or inactivate pathogenic organisms.

Combined Chlorine - The concentration of residual chlorine that is combined with ammonia (NH3), organic nitrogen, or both in water as chloramine, yet is still available to oxidize organic matter and act as a disinfectant. Combined chlorine can be accurately estimated as the difference between the measured total chlorine and measure or known free chlorine residual.
