As of today, water disinfection through chlorination is employed most commonly throughout the world however, disinfection byproducts (DBPs) such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids are resulting in many municipal water supplies. It is crucial to recognise the properties and concentrations of THMs in chlorinated water and focus on ways to ensure their efficient removal due to their severe impact on human health as well as in high-purity water plants. This article reviews a method to solve the challenge of THMs control in ultrapure water plants and illustrates innovative approaches for the removal of THMs and their continuous Metrology and Analytical Technology.
