Composition and Transformation of Halogenated Products Contained in Drinking Water Transported through the Urban Water Distribution Network

Analysis of the composition and transformation of organic compounds in water obtained at a surface water intake of a large urban agglomeration (by the example of the city of Ufa) and used to arrange water supply for the population and the industrial sector has been carried out. Using gas and liquid chromatography with various types of detection, more than 250 organic compounds in the supplied water have been determined. It has been revealed that when transporting water, the concentration of organic compounds of technogenic nature (phthalates, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, alkylbenzenes, etc.) does not change. It has been concluded that in remote, dead-end and stagnant zones of the urban water distribution network, the presence of additional organic pollutants not identified in drinking water leaving water treatment facilities, has not been detected.
