Trichloroisocyanurate is a synthetic compound having the basic formula (C3Cl3O3). It's widely used as an industrial deodorizer, bleaching agent, disinfectant, and stabilizer in organic synthesis. This yellow crystalline powder, with a distinctly chlorine-like “smelling” smell, is sometimes sold as a domestic ingredient in tablet or granular form for household and commercial use. Trichloroisocyanuric acids are insoluble in water, so they're not soluble in oil, grease, or other substances. In order to effectively remove chlorine gas from swimming pools, one would need more than just trichloroisocyanuric acid.
While there are no known negative health effects of this disinfectant, there are a few potential environmental hazards associated with it. This chemical compound can be removed through simple bleaching, but the removal process weakens the compound, which could lead to degradation in water sources over time. If this happens, chemicals such as chlorine could be added to the water supply to replace the weakened trichloroisocyanuric acid compound. Researchers believe that if this happens, the chlorine will become necessary to protect public drinking water sources from exposure to the weakened compound.
