Abstract

In this study, four inorganic pollutants (cadmium, chromium, manganese, lead), that could cause contamination events in drinking water distribution system, were selected and batch tests were carried out to determine the “minimum response concentration (MRC)”, a part of Korean Contamination Warning system establishment. As the results, the minimum response concentration of cadmium was found to be 0.05 to 0.08 mg/L (0.005 mg/L : water quality standard) and that of chrome was 0.03 mg/L (0.05 mg/L). And the minimum reaction concentration was 0.005 mg/L for manganese (0.05 mg / L for water quality) and 0.02~0.08 mg/L for lead (0.01 mg/L). Key words: Inorganic Pollutants, Minimum Response Concentration, Contamination Warning System, Cadmium, Chrome, Manganese, Lead
