Abstract
Chlorine, which is widely used in the disinfection process of waters, forms
trihalomethanes from disinfection by-products by entering into a reaction with
natural organic substances in water resources. Control
of trihalomethane (THM) formations is possible by the removal of substances
that lead to these formation. In recent years Advance Oxidation Procedures are
the preferred methods of treatment for
removing humic substances from the main THM precursors.The purpose of this
study is; evaluation of the researches about the formation of THMs formed as a
result of disinfection process in drinking water, health effects, differences
between the practices applied in Turkey and the world and control methods and
their advantages and disadvantages. A
limited number of scientific studies on the subject in our country, have been
widely preferred due to the low cost of it is still widely preferred and the
negative effects on the health of the formed byproducts constitute the most
important reasons for the study.
Key words:
Disinfection by Product, THM Precursors, Ozone, Hydrogen
peroxide, , Advanced Oxidation Process, Humic Substances.
