Read MoreWater analysis: bromate round robin test confirms superiority of the triiodide methodNov 2, 2010Bromate is a potential carcinogen and is generated by the oxidation of bromide traces during water disinfection by ozonization. A recently conducted round robin test has confirmed ion chromatography followed by post column reaction and ultraviolet detection to be a superior method of detection. Moreover, this method (draft ISO/DIS 11206) compares favourably with the former standard method (ISO 15061), achieving higher precision and lower deviation to the reference values, for identical test matrices.
