Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The distribution of bromine containing trihalomethanes in the water distribution system of Kuwait has been studied. Total halomethanes in the drinking water averaged 25.6 ± 9.1 μg l −1 with a maximum of 50.5 μg l −1. Average concentrations (μg l −1) of individual compounds were: CHBr 3, 13.6 ± 4.6; CHBr 2Cl, 8.8 ± 3.7; CHCl 2Br, 3.3 ± 1.5. Water from roof top storage tanks contained significantly less halomethanes than that from underground reservoirs.
