Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Four Point-of-Use Domestic Activated Carbon Filteration Devices for the Removal of Four Volatile Organic Contaminants from Drinking Water - December, 1992, Final Report

The intent of this study was to investigate the remediation potential of point-of-use activated carbon filters for removal of volatile organic contaminants from water. The study also analyzed the performance of a range of point-of-use devices by challenging them with a groundwater spiked with volatile organic contaminants. The knowledge of filter performances could assist governmental agencies in recommending specific filters as a temporary alternative water treatment for homeowners with contamination problems for volatile organic compounds.Department of Environmental Science, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey New Brunswick, N.J.
