| Abstract | Currently, the possibility of the production of low molecular weight chlorinated hydrocarbons through the use of chlorination for water purification is of great concern. The concern focuses principally on the four trihalmethanes viz., chloroform, bromodichloromethane (BDCM), dibromochloromethane (DBCM) and bromoform. Beside these, the formation of carbon tetrachloride and 1, 2 dichloroethane has also been detected. The halogenated hydrocarbons produced by chlorination seem to result from naturally occurring humic substances as precursors. The maximum concentrations of these materials found were: chloroform, 54 mg/l; BDCM, 20 mg/l; DBCM, 13 mg/l and bromoform, 10 mg/l. Since all these are suspect chemicals, it has been attempted to find out the possible mutagenic potential of chloroform, BDCM and DBCM by subjecting them to SCE assay. |
