The need for sewage disinfection cannot be overlooked today. With increasing population, the growing demand on water supplies necessitate using sources of supply hitherto considered unsuitable. The increasing popularity of swimming has led to the use of most available bathing beaches, lakes and water courses. The national resentment against the pollution of streams and rivers is gaining momentum. All of these have centered the attention of sanitarians on sewage treatment. As a final measure of securing complete health protection, sewage disinfection, with chlorine, is accepted practice. The control of obnoxious odors from sewage treatment works, long outfall sewage sewers and other disposal plant appurtenances is distinctly a field for chlorination. Neutralization of hydrogen sulfide (the gas responsible for those obnoxious odors), or prevention of its formation by controlled application of chlorine, is not only quite practicable but also satisfactory in results and economy of operation.
