The presence of trihalomethanes in waterworks according to method of disinfection

Drinking water is the foodstuff for which there is no substitute. Its quality must be such that its consumption or use does not endanger health. Disinfection is vital for preventing the spread of diseases caused by waterborne pathogens, but the use of chemical disinfectants usually results in the formation of byproducts with potential health concerns. The aim of this report is to present the results of year-long monitoring of drinking water safety with the use of ozone, gaseous chlorine and chlorine dioxide on water treatment and disinfection, in relation to the formation of THM byproducts, i.e. chlorites, associated with health risks.
