| Abstract | Some of the most frequent drinking water contaminants are halogenated hydrocarbons formed, in part, by the chlorination of water. This study involves the gas-chromatographic analysis of water samples from the water supply of different cities in Galicia (Spain): La Coruna, Ferrol, Lugo, Orense, Pontevedra and Vigo. The compounds investigated were: bromochloromethane, bromodichloromethane, chlorobenzene, chloroform, dibromochloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, dichloromethane, tetrachloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride and trichloroethylene. A total of 400 samples were analyzed. The results obtained showed that the range of concentrations is between 160.9-1.3-mu-g.l-1 for bromochloromethane, 79.5-2.0-mu-g.l-1 for chloroform, 53-1.5-mu-g.l-1 for dichloromethane, 58.7-1.5-mu-g.l-1 for tetrachloroethylene, 39.5-1.5-mu-g.l-1 for carbon tetrachloride, 44.6-2-mu-g.l-1 for bromodichloromethane, 22-2-mu-g.l-1 for 1,2 dichloroethane and 11.6-1.0-mu-g.l-1 for trichloroethylene. Dibromochloromethane and chlorobenzene were not detected. |
