Like chlorine, monochloramine must be completely removed from water before it is used in kidney dialysis machines. If monochloramine or chlorine enters the bloodstream directly, without being broken down by the digestive system, it will harm the patient’s health. Patients who require kidney dialysis can safely drink, cook with, bathe or shower in water treated with monochloramine.
