 ABSTRACT

Trihalomethanes have many adverse  health effects. Chlorinated drinking water is the largest source of trihalomethanes  (THMs) for human exposure . The experiment was conducted to study the presence of THMs in Chlorinated drinking water of WTPs (water treatment plants) of Bhopal city. For this experiment Perkin Elmer clarus 500 gas chromatography – Mass Spectroscopy  instrument was used. The key findings emerge that the concentration of THMs was significantly lower than the set acceptable limits of BIS:10500 (2012) and WHO Standard.

Keywords: Water treatment plant, Chloroform, Dichlorobromomethane, Dibromochloromethane, Bromoform, Natural organic matter
