The chemical process of removing chlorine from a substance, commonly used in water treatment and environmental protection.
The noun form of 'dechlorinate,' formed by adding the Latin suffix '-tion' to indicate an action or process. This technical term developed as industrial chemistry expanded in the 20th century.
Cities use dechlorination after treating water with chlorine because fish and delicate aquatic plants can't survive in highly chlorinated water—it's like removing the medicine once the patient is healthy!
