Sorption of trihalomethanes in foods
Trihalomethanes (THMs, namely, CHCl(3), CHCl(2)Br, CHClBr(2) and CHBr(3)) are disinfection by-products that are present in drinking water. These toxic chemicals are also present in meat, dairy products, vegetables, baked goods, beverages and other foods, although information regarding their concentrations and origin is very limited.

Occurrence of Trihalomethanes in Chlorinated Waters from Different Sources Used for Urban Supply [PDF]
Trihalomethanes (THMs) are the most common disinfection by-products formed by the reaction of chlorine and/or bromide with organic matter. Total THMs in chlorinated treated water are defined as the sum of the concentrations of chloroform (TCM ...
