Print on Demand. This book presents the health and financial impact of implementing new limits on trihalomethanes, a potentially carcinogenic chemical byproduct that forms when chlorine is added to drinking water. It provides background on public water supplies in Illinois, sources of water, treatment requirements, and the occurrence of trihalomethanes in the state. The book also estimates the general compliance costs of the proposal and assesses the benefits. The author utilized telephone conversations with representatives of water supply systems and state officials to provide a detailed analysis of trihalomethanes in public water to ensure accuracy. The financial data provided in the book is especially significant as the EPA has estimated a high safety factor for the risk associated with a TTHM level of mg/l, a very high safety factor indeed. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from Economic Impact Study of R81-11 Trihalomethane Standards for Public Water Supplies

Table 4 The Rock Island pws was also found to be in violation of the proposed standard in an August, 1981 sample. Rock Island serves between and people.

Estimating the range of compliance costs is made difficult by the lack of detailed data on tthm sampling results across the state, and on the feasibility and effectiveness of the multitude of possible alterations in water treatment processes. Most water supply authorities have stated that many of the pws which have to implement changes in their water treatment processes will be able to bring the tthm level into compliance by changing chlorination points and/or replacing chlorine with another disinfectant. The large capital costs associated with the addition of the carbon adsorption treatment alternative are not expected.
