Assessment of trends in chloroform content in drinking water of infiltration water intake

Abstract

Chloroform is a common result product of water disinfection. In drinking water, chloroform is present in higher concentrations than the other trihalogenmethanes (THM) (bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane and bromoform). For this reason, it is considered as an indicator of the content of a group of compounds related to THMs. It was found that the accumulation rate of chloroform based on the use of Markov chains in the medium and short term in drinking water increases over time
