Halogens in drinking water sources, such as bromine (Br) and iodine (I) pose no direct health risk, but are critical precursors in formation of cyto- and genotoxic brominated and iodinated (Br-/I-) DBPs. However, few spatial or historic datasets exist for bromine and iodine species in drinking water sources. This dissertation aims to quantify and understand the occurrence and speciation of Br and I in groundwater and surface water serving as source waters for drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs). Aggregation of data from >9000 non-drinking water sampling locations in USA collected from 1930-2017 on halides (bromide (Br-) and iodide (I-)) determined that Br- concentrations were 50 μg/L and 100 μg/L; and I- concentrations were 12 μg/L and 13 μg/L in surface and groundwater respectively. Although, these locations were not drinking water sources, this first of its kind analysis provides potential bounds for Br- and I-. To focus specifically on DWTP sources, a nationwide survey of >250 drinking water sources was conducted between 2018-2020. Br- ion is the only bromine specie, whereas both inorganic (iodide and iodate ions) and organic iodine occur. I- concentrations ranged from 1-250 μg/L and are 4 to 100 times lower than Br- concentrations (10-7800 μg/L, median=80 μg/L). No strong correlation exists between bromide and iodide occurrence (R<0.5, p<0.005). I- was detected in 50% of the samples (75th percentile=5 μg/L) and IO3- was detected in 40% (75th percentile=3 μg/L) of all the samples. To quantify iodine species, tandem ion chromatography and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was applied for the first time in drinking water sources. I- and IO3- peaks were well resolved and have minimum detection limit of 0.4 μg/L and 0.7 μg/L respectively. Organic iodine (Org-I) peaks in select drinking water samples from the nationwide survey were partically resolved ranging from <5 to 40 μg/L. This dissertation provides updated nationwide Br- survey and first ever national I species survey. The data generated through this dissertation will be useful to further Br-/I-DBP formation and toxicity research by providing relevant drinking water sources information. Future research targeting Br- and I- removal is advocated for managing Br-/I-DBPs in watersheds.
