    Samples were taken from fifty-one surface source water stations (including reservoirs, rivers, and lakes) in the Huaihe River basin to determine the typical organic pollutant contamination status of the major source water. The samples were tested for 17 different organic contaminants, including benzene homology, chlorobenzene compounds, organophosphorous insecticides, and nitrogenbenzene compounds. The amounts of the 17 chemicals in the fifty-one source water samples were all fewer than the Chinese surface water quality standard’s standard limit levels. The results of the target chemical detection rate revealed that typical organic contaminants have been prevalent in the Huaihe River basin’s source water. The noncarcinogenic risk HQ values of the target compounds were less than one, and the cancer risk values of most source water sites were much lower than the 1 × 10.. Read More»
