Notes:
The disinfection of drinking water with chlorine produces carcinogenic by-products called trihalomethanes or (THM's). These compounds are formed when the chlorine reacts with the organic matter in the raw water. The four major THM's are chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochromethane, and bromoform. Direct aqueous injection is used for the rapid screening THM's and other volatile organic compounds (VOC's) in water by direct on column injection of the water sample in to wide bore capillary columns, to which is attached an electron capture detector.
