TRIHALOMETHANES LAB TESTING
FOR CLIENTS NATIONWIDE
Trihalomethanes are defined as a group of chemicals formed when chlorine or other disinfectants used to control microbial contaminants in drinking water react with naturally occurring matter. THM levels have been shown to rise with pH, temperature, time, and the prescience of various precursors. It’s likely that your drinking water currently includes traces of these trihalomethanes.
At Engineering Performance Solutions, we offer reliable THMs testing services to clients across the nation. Studies suggest that extended exposure to high levels of trihalomethanes may ultimately be linked to a slight increase in the risk of bladder and colon cancer. Keeping this in mind, it’s imperative that you take the proper steps to screen for these chemicals in your drinking water.
Fortunately, our certified staff members are always standing by to lend a hand. Contact our facility today to learn more about our water testing consulting services or to schedule trihalomethanes lab testing!
COMPREHENSIVE TRIHALOMETHANES (THM) TESTING SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE U.S.
ACCURATE, NATIONWIDE ANALYSIS FOR SAFE DRINKING WATER
Trihalomethanes (THMs) are a group of disinfection by-products formed when chlorine or other disinfectants used in drinking water treatment react with naturally occurring organic matter. These compounds—such as chloroform, bromoform, bromodichloromethane, and dibromochloromethane—can develop in distribution systems as water travels through pipes, especially under certain environmental conditions.
THM concentrations typically increase with:
- Higher pH levels
- Warmer temperatures
- Longer water residence times
- Elevated levels of organic precursors, such as decaying vegetation
Because of these factors, it’s common for drinking water to contain trace amounts of THMs, particularly in systems reliant on surface water sources.
COMPREHENSIVE THMS TESTING WITH ENGINEERING PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS
At Engineering Performance Solutions, we provide precise and dependable THMs analysis for clients nationwide. Using EPA & Standard testing methodologies, we accurately quantify THM concentrations to help utilities, engineers, businesses, and facilities test different disinfection strategies to help them on the path to compliance.
THE HEALTH & REGULATORY IMPORTANCE OF THM MONITORING
While low levels of trihalomethanes are common in treated water, studies suggest that long-term exposure to elevated THM levels may be associated with a slightly higher risk of bladder and colon cancer. Because of these potential health risks, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) at 80 µg/L.
Regular monitoring is essential for:
- Regulatory compliance under state and federal drinking water standards
- Protecting public health
- Diagnosing distribution system issues
- Improving taste and odor
- Optimizing disinfection practices without compromising microbial safety
