Objectives: In an effort to examine the distribution of THMs (Trihalomethane) generated from chlorine disinfection by the drinking water treatment plants located on the east coast region of Gangwon-do, this study surveyed the distribution and concentrations of each component of THMs twice per month for 5 years from 2008 to 2012. Fluctuation pattern in the seasonal generation amount was identified. In addition, the correlation between the concentration of organic substances in water and THMs was assessed, along with stability of purified water quality supplied by the water treatment plants on the east coast by analyzing the composition ratio of each component that constitutes THMs and the detection frequency. Method: The research was done on purified water supplied by 29 water treatment plants in 7 cities and counties (Goseong-gun, Sokcho-si, Yangyang-gun, Gangneung-si, Donghae-si, Samcheok-si, Taebaek-si) located in Gangwon-do on the east coast. Water samples were collected twice a month from 2008 to 2012 and were investigate for chloroform, bromodichloromethane (BDCM), dibromochloromethane (DBCM), and bromoform, based on analysis through Purge-Trap (Tekmar 3000) devices using FID-attached GC (HP 6890, Hewlett Packard). Result: THMs concentration detected at Gangneung-si was 0.0086mg/L, Goseong-gun 0.0019mg/L, Donghae-si 0.0099 mg/L, Samcheok-si 0.0016 mg/L, Sokcho-si 0.0057 mg/L, Yangyang-gun 0.0027 mg/L and Taebaek-si 0.0038 mg/L. As the THMs composition rate, chloroform constitutes 51.4% followed bybromodichloromethane 22.3%, bromoform 15.2% and dibromochloromethane 11.1% respectively. Conclusion: Throughout the entire THMs survey areas and period, the maximum concentration was 0.072mg/L, which did not exceed the water quality standards (0.1 mg/L), and the overall average concentration was very low at 0.0044 mg/L.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of trihalomethane (THM) formation from chlorination of groundwater in the northeastern area of Cheju Island. Effects of total organic carbon (TOC) and bromide in groundwater on the THM formation were studied. Samples were taken from two regions withe altitude. The concentrations of TOC and bromide in groundwater were higher at the regions of lower altitude, especially at the altitude below 50m. Generally the THM formation in GA region containing a high TOC was higher than that in GB region containing a relatively high bromide. At the altitude below 100m, the formation of total and brominated THM was highest at GB region. The most part of THM formation was brominated THM at GB region. The formation ratio of chloroform and brominated THM was similar to the others. Among the brominated THM, dibromochloromethane and bromoform in GB region were containing high bromide. Bromodichloromethane and dibromochloromethane in GA region were containing low bromide. At the altitude above 200m, chloroform was formed mainly. Comparing the ratio of brominated THM of total THM in Cheju Island with that in other areas, Seoul and Pusan, it can be konwn that the former showing 51.3% was much higher than the latter showing 6.7% and 28.8%, respectively.

활성탄소섬유를 사용하여 염소소독 후 수돗물 내에 부산물로 존재하는 4종 트리할로메탄을 제거하였다. THMs의 종류별 농도 및 용액의 온도를 달리하면서 흡착실험을 수행하고 활성탄소섬유의 표면특성에 따른 흡착능력과 흡착메카니즘을 살펴본 결과, 4종의 THMs은 모두 Langmuir 타입의 흡착등온곡선을 보이면서 매우 신속하게 활성탄소섬유에 흡착되었다. THMs의 흡착은 활성탄소섬유의 표면에 균일하게 발달된 미세공의 입구에 물리적 및 화학적 수소결합으로 이루어졌다고 판단된다. Langmuir 타입은 특히 저농도 오염원 일때 제거효율이 높기 때문에 수돗물 내에 약 $30{\mu}g/L$ 수준으로 존재하는 THMs의 제거에는 활성탄소섬유가 매우 효과적임을 알 수 있다. 4종 THMs 종류별 흡착량은 큰 차이는 없으나 chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane, 및 bromoform 의 순서로 증가하였다. 이는 brom 원자수의 증가와 일치하며 극성의 감소로 용해도가 낮아짐에 따라 흡착량이 증가한 것이다.

독성 성질을 가진 휘발성 염소계 탄소수소류의 휘발특성에 대하여 실험실 규모의 토양컬럼실험을 진행하였다. 실트점토성 토양과 사질성의 양질 토양 2개 컬럼으로부터 $12^{\circ}C$, $21^{\circ}C$의 각각 다른 조건으로 실험한 결과 총 10가지의 휘발성염소계 화학물질이 검출되었다. 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene 그리고 chloroform은 초기 농도대비 36.7~54.6% 제거되었고 carbon tetrachloride, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, tetrachloroethylene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, dichlorobromethane 그리고 dibromochloromethane는 초기 농도대비 15.3~39.3% 제거되었으며 특히 bromoform 물질의 경우 초기 농도대비 10%이하의 가장 낮은 저감 비율이 보였다. 염소계 탄화수소류 초기 농도값, 토양 성상은 휘발량에 큰 영향을 끼치지 않았다. 그러나, 온도비교에서 $12^{\circ}C$보다 $21^{\circ}C$에서 저감비율이 더 높았다.

In-pipe formation of THM in water distribution systems was simulated by using the continuously and easily measurable parameters such as water temperature, residual chlorine and soluble organic compounds. The concentration of miscellaneous organics which could be the precuror of THM, was measured and represented as the absorbance of ultraviolet at wave length 260 nm. As the results, the developed equation in this study showed a more reliability on the change of THM than the normally regressed equation. In addition, the simulation was successfully fitted in the actual water treatment and distribution systems. Of the THM components, dibromochloromethane was the main cause dropping the overall reliability in the simulation.

이 연구에서는 농촌지역 마을상수 중에 함유된 trihalomethanes (THMs)의 농도 분포 및 발생 특성을 파악하였다. 농촌지역의 마을상수 시료는 2010년과 2011년 여름에 강원도 춘천시의 40가정에서 두 차례에 걸쳐 채취하였고, 도시상수 시료는 2011년의 같은 기간에 비교 목적으로 20곳의 수도꼭지에서 채취하였다. 현장에서 수온, pH 및 잔류염소(총 및 유리) 농도를 측정하였고, 물 시료는 실험실에서 용존 유기탄소(DOC)와 THMs 농도에 대해 분석하였다. 마을상수 중 DOC의 평균 농도는 원수로 사용된 지하수와 지표수 간에 거의 차이를 보이지 않았다(1.81 vs. 1.91 mg/L). 그러나 마을상수의 지하수에서($9.77{\mu}g/L$)의 총 THMs(TTHMs)의 평균 농도는 지표수보다($2.85{\mu}g/L$) 훨씬 더 높았고, 도시상수 중 TTHMs의 평균 농도($10.8{\mu}g/L$)와 유사하였다. 도시상수와는 다르게, 마을상수(특히 지하수)는 dibromochloromethane (DBCM)과 같은 더 많이 브롬화된 THMs을 함유하였는데, 이는 마을상수의 원수 중에 bromide ion(Br-)이 비교적 높은 수준으로 존재함을 암시하였다. 이 연구를 통해 마을상수는 도시상수와는 다른 THMs 생성 특성을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었는데, 이것은 아마도 원수의 수질 특성의 차이에서 비롯되는 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 경상북도 지역에서 호소수를 원수로 사용하는 한 정수장의 원수 및 공정별 처리수의 자연유기물질(NOM) 및 소독부산물(DBPs) 생성특성을 조사하고 정수공정내 DBPs 제어방안을 제시하였다. Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (FEEM) 분석결과 원수의 NOM은 토양과 미생물의 복합기원에 의한 것으로 밝혀졌다. NOM의 분자량크기 및 분획제거 특성은 liquid chromatography-organic carbon detector (LC-OCD)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 대체로 휴믹물질과 저분자량 유기물질 분획이 많았고, 고분자량물질은 저분자량물질보다 응집 침전공정에서 제거가 용이한 것으로 나타났다. 전염소주입 후 정수공정별로 진행될수록 반응시간이 길어져 DBPs 농도가 증가하였으며 생성된 DBPs는 일반적인 정수처리로 제거되지 않았다. THMs은 chloroform이 74%로 주종을 이루었으며 bromodichloromethane (22%)와 dibromochloromethane (4%)도 발생했다. HAAs는 dichloroacetic acid (50%)와 trichloroacetic acid (48%)가 주종을 이루었고 dibromoacetic acid (2%) 등 브롬계열은 농도가 낮거나 발생되지 않았다. HANs은 dichloroacetonitrile (60%), bromochloroacetonitrile (30%), dibromoacetonitrile (10%)이 발생되었다. 실험기간 동안 해당 정수장에서 DBPs 발생은 용존유기물농도와 수온보다 전염소주입농도에 큰 영향을 받은 것으로 나타났고, 염소주입농도의 조절로 DBPs 생성농도를 이전에 비해 16~44% 감소시킬 수 있었다.

Single non-lethal doses of chloroform $(CHCL_3)$ dichlorobromomethane $(CHCL_2Br)$, dibromochloromethane $(CHCIBr_2)$, or bromoform $(CHBr_3)$ were administered to male rats. Routes of exposure including single intraperitional (ip) and subcutaneous (sc) injection were used in order to permit comparison of severity of THM effects and renal toxicity was assessed at varied times following treatment. On an equimolar basis, sc administration of $CHBr_3$ (either 12 or 3 mmoles/kg) is more effective at increasing KW/BW than ip $CHCI_3$ treatment. Plasma urea nitrogen (BUN) following ip THM injections are markedly increased with all four THM at 24 hours post treatment. BUN response to $CHCL_2Br$ and $CHCIBr_3$-effected BUN levels have essentially returned to those of vehicle control. THM sc treatment results in a BUN response similar to that seen following ip treatment, with only the time course being different. With the exception of $CHCL_3$, sc and ip-treatments appear to be equally effective in evoking absolute BUN elevations. These results suggest that THM administration induce renal toxicity dependent upon the route or exposure.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of disinfection by-products (DBPs-trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs) and haloacetonitriles (HANs) formation in chlorination of principal raw waters used for drinking water on Jeju Island, Korea. The domestic water supply of other area and humic acid solution (HA) were used as a reference point. The effects of chlorine contact time, solution temperature and pH on DBPs formation potential (DBPFP) were investigated for raw waters. In addition, the effect of $Br^-$ was studied for HA. The DBPFP (THMFP, HAAFP and HANFP) were increased with increasing chlorine contact time. Comparing the individual DBPFPs for raw waters, they decreased in the order of HAAFP > THMFP ${\geq}$ HANFP. As the solution temperature was increased, the THMFP, HAAFP and HANFP increased. With increasing the solution pH, the THMFP was increased, but HAAFP and HANFP were decreased. With the addition of 0.3 mg/L $Br^-$ for HA, the DBPFP was increased and the major chemical species changed: from trichloromethane to dibromochloromethane and tribromomethane for THMs; from dichloroacetic acid and trichloroacetic acid to tribromoacetic acid for HAAs; and from dichloroacetonitrile to dibromoacetonitrile for HANs.

Concentrations and speciations of Trihalomethanes (THMs) and Haloacetic acids ($HAA_5$) that can be formed during chlorine disinfection by-product (DBPs) in full-scale drinking water treatment plants were investigated. Jeon-ju D water treatment plant that adopted conventional water treatment processes was chosen for investigation. SUVA values according to water treatment process changes were observed from 1.3 to 2.1. The process average concentrations of THMs was 7.4 ppb, 9.0 ppb and 14.7 ppb respectively, while the average concentrations of $HAA_5$ by each process which are precipitation water, filterater water, treated water, were 15.5 ppb, 14.9 ppb and 25.8 ppb respectively. DBPs concentrations was lower in the winter than summer. The major species of THMs was chloroform and the second highest was bromodichloromethane (BDCM) and the third highest was dibromochloromethane (DBCM). In case of $HAA_5$, the rate of trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) was detected. The species disribution of THMs is related to the change of SUVA and species disribution of $HAA_5$ is related to the concentrations of bromine and injection position of chlorine and injection quantity.
