路易斯维尔（肯塔基州）水务公司的经验证实，实施有效的三卤甲烷（THM）控制处理方法既不是不可能，也不是太困难。已经探索了在最初形成THM后阻止其生长的方法，例如氨化，并且发现该技术是可用的，就像其他在不形成大量THM的情况下消毒水源的方法一样。每个工厂必须调查其对THM控制的单独需求，并选择最合适、最经济的技术。讨论了氯化和分析技术的历史，如气相色谱法。还包括氯胺、臭氧、过氧化氢和二氧化氯。 包括表格、数字。

The Louisville (Kentucky) Water Company's experience confirms that implementation of effective treatment methods for trihalomethane (THM) control is neither impossible nor overly difficult. Methods for hindering THM growth after its initial formation, such as ammoniation, have been explored and the technology found to be available, as it is for other methods of disinfecting water supplies without forming significant amounts of THMs. Each plant must survey its individual needs for THM control and select the most appropriate and economical technology. The history of chlorination and analytical techniques such as gas chromatography are discussed. Also covered are chloramines, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and chlorine dioxide. Includes tables, figures.
