> As TOC decreased, the ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm increased. Pipes consumed as much as 0.5 mg/L as Cl2 during each 3 day stagnation period.

Both of those results mentioned in the abstract are really fascinating. I'm really curious why UV absorbance increased as leachates were released, and the chlorine consumption kind of makes me think that if I ever have a house with PEX, I will want to install a whole-house purification system to remove chlorine, or run copper to at least all drinking locations.
