Trihalomethanes (THMs), formed during the chlorination of drinking water, can negatively impact the environment by contaminating aquatic ecosystems. When released into water bodies, they can disrupt the growth and reproduction of aquatic organisms, leading to reduced biodiversity. Moreover, THMs can accumulate in sediments and bioaccumulate in the food chain, posing risks to both wildlife and human health. Their presence in drinking water sources also raises concerns about long-term exposure effects on human populations.
