[Problems in the monitoring of bromine-containing substances in the drinking water].

The water concentrations of bromide ions at the level of 0.2 mg/dm3 or higher, which are sufficient for redox reaction of humin compounds under the action of potent oxidizing agents present a potential hazard in the hygienic terms of formation of transformation products, which also agrees with the hygienic standards. The concentration of bromide ions below 0.1 mg/dm3 can be considered to be relatively safe in the terms of production of organobromine compounds.
