If you look-in-the web page that Jerry sent, it shows that the
chlorine and chloramine are not adsorbed, they are converted to
hydrogen and chloride ions. This is a web page sent out by GE to
discuss appropriate techniques for removing chlorine and chloramines
from tap water to make it into high purity water for injection or for
other uses.

The paper is referenced, so it would be interesting to hunt them down,
but I'm pretty sure that GE would not mess too much with the contents
of references.

The point they made was that chlorine/chloramine were converted to
ions by carbon filtration which then had to be removed by another
method like ion exchange or RO.

The toxins would only dump if they were displaced by something with a
higher affinity or if the affinity of the site for the toxin was
changed by a pH change or some other system change.
