Table 3.

Concentrations of DBPs in drinking water samples taken from the waterworks Berggården (Linköping) and Borg (Norrköping). The results cover target DBP concentrations at six different steps in the water purification process, three before and three after disinfection using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) at Berggården and monochloramine (NH2Cl) at Borg
