Spanish institute charts levels of trihalomethanes in drinking water • Water News Europe

New research analyses the presence of trihalomethanes in tap water in 26 European countries. Trihalomethanes are formed unintendedly as a by-product when chlorine is used to disinfect drinking water. According to the large-scale study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) more than 6.500 cases of bladder cancer—nearly 5% of all cases in Europe— can be attributed to exposure to trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water.
