The Behaviour of Haloacetic Acids in Distribution Zones in Scotland [PDF]
HAAs are the second most prevalent class of DBPs after THMs in chlorinated drinking water and are of concern due to their potential human health risk. Their concentrations in drinking water are regulated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA)

Canine Urothelial DNA Mutations Are Not Associated With Total Trihalomethanes Concentrations in Municipal Drinking Water. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Contaminants in municipal drinking water, specifically total trihalomethanes (TTHMs), are mutagenic. Exposures to TTHMs have been associated with urothelial carcinoma (UC) in both people and dogs. Mutations in the BRAF gene and other genomic copy number aberrations detected in voided urothelial cells with commercial CADET BRAF and BRAF‐PLUS ...

Kinetics and thermodynamics of the formation of trihalomethanes
The effect of contact time and temperature on the formation of trihalomethanes (THMs) was studied during the chlorination of Khandaq El-Sharqi canal, Egypt, under laboratory condition. Samples were collected from four positions of Khandaq El-Sharqi canal
