This document discusses Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC), a chemical commonly used to disinfect drinking water. It explains how NaDCC kills harmful bacteria and viruses, making water safe to drink, especially in emergency situations or places without clean water systems. The document also looks at how much NaDCC is safe to use, what happens when people drink water treated with it, and whether it has any long-term health effects. Overall, it concludes that when used correctly, NaDCC is an effective and safe way to purify drinking water, as long as guidelines are followed.
