Abstract

Develops and adapts analytical instrumentation and methods that quantify concentrations of individual trihalomethane (THM) and haloacetic acid (HAA) species as well as total THMs and the sum of nine HAAs in near-real time directly from drinking water distribution systems. Research partner: USEPA. Phase I, an extensive literature review (Order 91003F), was published in 2004. Phase II was published in 2007 (Order 91173).
