“…Although the method of exposure to UV radiation should contribute to the destruction of organic compounds in water, it may cause an increase in the synthesis of THMs [30]. Silver copper nanoparticles may negatively increase environmental impact [31]. Because the type and form of disinfectant need to be chosen with respect to specific requirements and expectations, many swimming pool exploiters choose chlorine disinfectants to ensure the microbiological safety of water.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the level of disinfection by-products in swimming pool waters in the Opole region. The authors paid special attention to determining the concentrations of trihalomethanes (THMs), which are formed in water during disinfection. Five indoor swimming pools were selected to provide a different range of basin capacity of pools, number of users, and treatment methods. In analyzed waters we found trihalomethane (THM) concentrations in a wide range at 27.6-278.6 μg/dm 3. The detected level of total THMs in 57% of samples didn't fulfill the new proposal of requirements for swimming pool water quality (100 μg/dm 3). The dominant compound of THMs was chloroform because of chlorine application in the disinfection method. All tested objects had to implement corrective action plans, the effect of which was to reach the limit of THM total concentration.
