Chloropicrin, we filter that.

CHLOROPICRIN in the past was used as a chemical weapon, utilized mostly by the Germans in WWI. Since then, Chloropicrin has been used as a reagent in the synthesis of organic chemicals, in the manufacture of methyl violet, and as a fumigant for stored grain. Chloropicrin is sometimes added to other chemicals as a “warning agent”—due to its strong odor, adding it can increase the detect-ability of other less perceptible chemicals (think about natural gas, they add mercaptan to it so that it smells like rotten eggs).

Chloropicrin can also form as a by-product of the water treatment process, but reduces quickly to chloroform during treatment when chlorine reduction agents are added into the mix.
