HYGIENIC INVESTIGATIONS OF CHLOROFORM CONCENTRATION IN TAP WATER IN YAKUTSK
In this article, the necessity for changing the tap water disinfection technology under the conditions of high color index is justified. The sanitary audit of chloroform concentration in tap water of Yakutsk is performed. Currently, the use of chlorine to disinfect the water of high color leads to the formation of considerable amount of halogen-containing compounds posing a hazard to health of population due to their biological activity. The article presents the findings of the research conducted by the public health laboratory of Hygienic and Epidemiological Center in the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic over the period from 2005 to 2015 to determine the chloroform concentrations in tap water of Yakutsk.
