Drinking water quality has been a matter of concern for several
decades. Disinfection of drinking water improves its
microbiological quality and prevents disease outbreaks. However,
continuously increasing scientific research concerns the presence
of organic and inorganic contaminants in water. Many of these
compounds, named haloforms, originate from the procedure of
disinfection, being formed during reactions of disinfectants with
natural organic matter present in water. Haloforms may possess
carcinogenic or mutagenic properties; therefore minimization of
their concentrations in drinking water is a critical issue.
Regulatory measures are becoming more and more stringent, as new
health effects become known and optimized high-sensitivity
analytical methodologies are being developed. Up-to-date research
findings concerning all these aspects have been collected,
critically reviewed, summarized, and are presented and discussed in
the present book.
