Today a great variety of chemicals can contaminate sources of drinking-water. By far the most frequent contaminants in this category are trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene because of their large production volumes and widespread use in industry. Other chemicals that occur less frequently or at lower concentrations include dichloromethane, carbon, tetrachloride, chloroethylene (i.e. vinyl chloride), the 3 possible isomers of dichloroethylene, dichloroethane, 1,2,-dibromoethane, l,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane, and benzene.
