Abstract

Characterizes bromide levels at 100 water utilities throughout the United States selected to reflect a diversity in water sources. Evaluates seasonal variations at 50 utilities. Also determines ozone-based formation potentials on all samples to give an indication of potential bromate formation. Published in 1995.
