Swimming is one of the most widely practiced sports in Spain among people of all ages and physical conditions. This activity is also a source of exposure to disinfection by-products (DBP), which are potentially toxic. The DBP concentration in swimming pool water is not regulated and is poorly known. The aim of this study was to describe trihalomethane concentrations in swimming pool water in the municipalities of four cohorts of the INMA project.
In July 2009, trihalomethanes were analyzed in water from 27 swimming pools in Asturias, Granada, Valencia and Sabadell.
The mean total trihalomethane concentration was 42.7 μg/L (standard deviation [SD]=19.1) in indoor pools and 151.2 μg/L (SD=80.7) in outdoor pools. In all pools, the most abundant trihalomethane was always chloroform. The lowest levels were found in Granada.
Trihalomethane concentrations in swimming pool water were highly variable. Outdoor swimming pools showed the highest levels, which were usually above the legal limit for drinking water.
游泳是西班牙各年龄段和身体状况的人群中最广泛开展的运动之一。这项活动也是接触潜在有毒的消毒副产物(DBP)的一个来源。游泳池水中的DBP浓度未受监管且鲜为人知。本研究的目的是描述INMA项目四个队列城市的游泳池水中三卤甲烷的浓度。
2009年7月,对阿斯图里亚斯、格拉纳达、巴伦西亚和萨巴德尔的27个游泳池的水进行了三卤甲烷分析。
室内游泳池中三卤甲烷的平均总浓度为42.7μg/L(标准差[SD]=19.1),室外游泳池中为151.2μg/L(SD=80.7)。在所有游泳池中,最主要的三卤甲烷始终是氯仿。格拉纳达的含量最低。
游泳池水中三卤甲烷的浓度变化很大。室外游泳池的含量最高,通常高于饮用水的法定限值。
