BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Duplicate portions of the daily meals consumed by 30 housewives were collected for 3 consecutive days in the cities of Nagoya and Yokohama in Japan. Meals were analyzed for chloroform, bromodichloromethane (BDCM), chlorodibromomethane (CDBM) and bromoform by using a purge-trap procedure. The average concentration (and the range) of these four kinds of trihalomethane in each of the 24 h duplicate meals were, chloroform 19.6 | 18.1 ppb(n.d.-106.8 ppb), BDCM 0.3 | 0.3 ppb(n.d.-1.7 ppb), CDBM 0.1 | 0.2 ppb(n.d-0.6 ppb) and bromoform 0.5 | 1.3 ppb(n.d.-8.1 ppb). The mean daily dietary intake of the four kinds of trihalomethane by housewives were, chloroform 40.0 | 25.4 mug, BDCM 0.6 | 0.5 mug, CDBM 0.3 | 0.3 mug and bromoform 09.7 | 1.3 mug.
