title: [Stability of B1 and G2 aflatoxins after routine water chlorination].
abstract: Stability of aflatoxin B1 and G2 as water pollutants in the presence of active chlorine was examined. One liter of demineralized water was polluted with 0.5 mg of aflatoxin B1 and with 0.5 mg of aflatoxin G2. Routine chlorination with Pantacide tablets was applied afterwards. Initial aflatoxin concentrations and those after chlorination were measured by fluorescence high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Residual chlorine was parallely measured. It was found that aflatoxin B1 was almost completely degraded in the presence of active chlorine after a half of an hour which concentration was instantly lowered but aflatoxin G2 concentration was not significantly changed even after several days.
