New swimming pool initially filled with chloramine-treated tap water.

Chloramines are derivatives of ammonia by substitution of one, two or three hydrogen atoms with chlorine atoms. Monochloramine is an inorganic compound with the formula NH₂Cl. It is an unstable colourless liquid at its melting point of -66° temperature, but it is usually handled as a dilute aqueous solution where it is used as a disinfectant. The term chloramine also refers to a family of organic compounds with the formulas R₂NCl and RNCl₂ (R is an organic group). Dichloramine, NHCl₂, and nitrogen trichloride, NCl₃, are also well known.
