Data acquired since the mid-1970s have shown a wide variety of specific organic chemicals to be present in finished drinking water supplies and sources. A review of the measurement techniques for the control of organic chemicals in drinking water is presented. Sources of contamination and analytical techniques, including gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, high performance liquid chromatography, total organic carbon and total organic halogen, are covered. Includes 34 references, figures.
