>> There is no current reason to believe that it is harmful since tens of millions of exposures have not indicated any reactions to it over the past hundred years.
When you look at the state of health in the world nowadays I'd have to disagree: at least one of these "no harmful" substances that we ingest is killing us.

You mean with people having longer lifespans than ever before?

It seems like NewAtlas articles are always sciency clickbait of questionable accuracy.
Chloramine has been in broad use for over a hundred years and this breakdown byproduct was well documented over 50 years ago and detectable in water over 30 years ago. What the article is claiming as new, or a "Phantom" is that someone imaged its particular molecular structure and is now requesting funding to run toxicology studies on it. There is no current reason to believe that it is harmful since tens of millions of exposures have not indicated any reactions to it over the past hundred years.
