Abstract
Concentration and speciation of trihalomethanes(THMs) and haloacetic acids(HAAs) that can be created during chlorine disinfection as disinfection by-products(DBPs) in Korean water treatment plants(WTPs) were investigated. 4 WTPs that adopted conventional water treatment processes were chosen for investigation and each represented a typical WTP on the Han, Keum, Sumjin and Nakdong Rivers. The average concentration of THMs was 26.9 ppb, and the maximum and minimum concentrations were 47.6 ppb and 11.0 ppb respectively, while the average concentration of HAAs was 25.4 ppb, and the maximum and minimum concentrations were 57.1 ppb and 9.7 ppb respectively. DBPs concentration was lower in the winter than the summer. The major species of THMs was chloroform and its average percentage was 77%, and the second highest was bromodichloromethane(20%), while the concentration of bromoform was below detection limits. The sum of dichloroacetic acid(DCAA) and trichloroacetic acid(TCAA) was 97% of $HAA_5 $ on average base. But its percentage was 90% in the Han River WTP, especially it was the lowest during the winter. On the other hand, the concentration of DCAA was higher than TCAA except during the summer.
