trihalomethanes in the drinking water of tehran
Authors
abstract
natural sources of water contain some halogenated organic compounds after disinfection by chlorine. trihalomethanes are one group of the chlorination by products that suspected of being carcinogenic inhuman unfortunately, these compounds are in finished water of all treatment plants that use chlorine as a disinfectant. in this study, the concentration of total thms of water treated in the water treatment plant no.1 of tehran had been measured by spectrophotometric method, along the month of june, 1371. results of experiments have shown that organic contents of tehran drinking water were not considerable in the period of survey. the mean concentration of tthms in water samples is estimated to be 28 micrograms per liter and none of the analyzed samples was considered polluted.

Trihalomethanes in drinking water and spontaneous abortion.
Trihalomethanes (chloroform, bromoform, bromodichloromethane, and chlorodibromomethane) are common contaminants of chlorinated drinking water. Although animal data indicate that these compounds may be reproductive toxicants, little information exists on their relation to spontaneous abortion in humans. We examined exposure to trihalomethanes and spontaneous abortion in a prospective study of 5,...

Introduction: Chlorination is the most common and successful method for disinfection of drinking water, especially in developing countries. However, due to the probability of formation of disinfection by-products especially Trihalomethanes (THMs) that are known as hazardous and usually carcinogenic compounds, this study was conducted to assess the investigation of THMs in drinking water of Abba...

Cancer risk assessment from trihalomethanes in drinking water.
This study intends to calculate the lifetime cancer risks resulting from intakes of trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water based on the presence of each THM species. The slope factors for each THM species are used, combined with exposure model and Monte Carlo simulations, to calculate the cancer risks with consideration of different exposure routes (oral ingestion, inhalation and dermal absor...

Distribution and seasonal variation of sixteen priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated in the drinking water of Tehran, the capital of Iran. Detected single and total PAHs concentrations were in the range of 2.01-38.96 and 32.45-733.10 ng/L, respectively, which were quite high compared to the values recorded in other areas of the world. The average occurrence of PAHs ...

In this paper the results obtained using two validated gaschromatographic procedures on drinking water for the determination of trihalomethanes are compared. The volatile compounds, chloroform (CF), bromodichloromethane (BDCM), dibromochloromethane (DBCM) and bromoform (BF) were detected by purge and trap capillary column gas-chromatography with electrolytic conductivity detector ( ELCD) and th...
