A Survey of Drink Water for Certain Specific Analytes in the Water Quality Standards

Absrtact
The purpose of this project was to examine the drinking water quality of the prechosen 362 drinking water systems and 38 simple tap-water systems of the 22 municipal counties or cities. The regulated analytes included 13 metals (arsenic, lead, selenium, chromium, cadmium, barium, antimony, nickel, mercury, silver , aluminum, indium and molybdenum ), 1 health affecting substance (cyanide), 3 disinfection byproducts (total trihalomethanes (TTHMs), bromate and haloacetic acids (HAA5) ), 15 volatile organics (trichoroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, vinyl chloride, benzene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, 1,1-dichloroethene, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, xylenes, cis- and trans- 1,2-dichloroethene, tetrachloroethene and toluene), 13 pesticides (endosulfan, lindane, butachlor, 2,4-D, paraquat, methomyl, carbofuran, Isoprocarb, methamidophos, diazinon, parathion, EPN, and monocrotophos) and 1 persistent volatile organic compound (dioxins), which accounted for a total of 46 analytes.   Water examined for all tested locations met the required drinking water criteria, which has a passing rate of 98.9% and 97.5%. All analytes tested met the required drinking water criteria, which had a passing rate all of 99.9%.   The results indicated the content of bromate and Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) exceeded the drinking water quality regulations include 5 drinking water systems.
