These are chemicals that are formed when Chlorine used in
drinking water reacts with naturally occurring organic materials.
More that Ten human studies have indicted that these chemicals
are associated with rectal, bladder and pancreatic cancers.
The current EPA standard allows a THM conc. of 0.1 mg/L,
