The major purpose of the present investigation was to study the effects of
different concentrations of residual chlorine on serum iron related parameters in
rats. Feeding male rats with water containing 80 ppm of residual chlorine daily for
5 days reduced serum levels of ceruloplasmin, copper, iron and hemoglobin by
approximately 27%,23%,6% and 4%, respectively. Higher reductions in serum
