Chloramines suck to get rid of, brewers sometimes use metabisulfite tablets . Pool people superchlorinate the water with free chlorine/bleach, which breaks down the chloramine then quickly gasses off. Carbon filters don't work that well for chloramines, you have to really slow down flow for it to be effective. Not sure if any of these techniques would have any effect on the anions in this paper.

Don't see open access for the paper either unfortunately, I guess we'll have to wait a bit.

Fuck I'm gonna have to use filtered water to wash my dishes now
Also hot take, but maybe having undrinkable tap water is a good thing actually? The line keeps going up, so I font really see anything bad here

Potable water is actually bad for your gut biome: here’s why! 🧵

Researchers recommend people use a Brita filter or similar product for tap water. These filters use carbon to rid tap water of such compounds.
I have a countertop water filter that uses a carbon filter for this kind of thing. Gets rid of the chlorine-y smell and I guess stuff like this as well.
The one I have is kinda lame though. Locks up easily if you accidentally completely empty it of water, one of the chambers has stagnant water, etc. And of course you have to buy filters, and replace them every 6 months.
Not sure if there are many good countertop water filters. An under-sink one works better of course.
okay penitentkulak in this thread says this may not be very effective.

The City of Toronto uses chloramines too, this is Canadian erasure

Why on earth wouldn't they put "chloronitramide anion" in the title? I hate science journalism.
