Interferences
The substances that are shown in Table 15 interfere in the chlorine (Cl

) determination at the given
concentrations.
Table 16 shows the substances that were tested and do not interfere at or below the levels that are
shown.

Highly buffered samples or extreme pH Can prevent the correct pH adjustment of the sample by the
reagents. Highly buffered water and water that is not within the EPA
Secondary Drinking Water Standard range of pH 6.5 to 8.5 can
cause interference.

This substance is an oxidant and can be thought of as the analyte. The result can be thought of
as a total oxidant concentration shown in units of total chlorine.
