Distribution of halomethanes in potable waters of Kuwait

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;...

Zusammenfassung: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.
