Summary
Water chlorination leads to the generation of various halogenated degradation products of water organic matter. In natural waters humic matter usually presents the largest part of the total organic matter, but in water polluted with pulp and in paper waste waters also lignosulphonates are present in significant concentrations. Water samples collected from the Sava river and its ground waters polluted with pulp and paper mill effluents are laboratory chlorinated. Relatively good positive correlation coefficients were obtained in the comparison of the amounts of humic and lignin matter present in the water samples and the production of halomethanes and various other lipophilic volatile organic matter during water chlorination.
