Does anyone have any information about tribromamine such as Henrys law constants/air measurements? In ECHAs Guidance on the Biocidal Products Regulation (https://echa.europa.eu/documents/10162/23036412/bpr_guidance_vol_v_dbp_new_en.pdf/c7d11d09-8ae5-317f-0eeb-ec8b2aa938b3), it says that no data are available for tribromamine but by extension this DBP may also be considered relevant for air. I wonder if this component can be assumed equally volatile as trichloramine?
What are the main componens/microorganisms causing skin irritations in swimming pool waters?
We have made several studies about the exposure of swimming pools guards. Concerning especially bromamine, we have taken air samples in the atmosphere of a swimming pool filled with sea water and have not found any trace of bromamines. This result has surprised us because it was likely that the stirring of water would release droplets containing bromamine (even if the bromamines were not as volatile as chloramines). But it was a reeducation center and there was no stirring of water (the patients moved very little in the water). Some of our studies about that topic:

We also have texts in French and equivalent work in the food industry with the use of chlorine or chlorine derivatives.
Michel Héry, thank you very much for your answer and good help! I really appreciate it.
