The water supply for Seoul, Korea comes from the Han River, and is treated for an earthy-musty taste and odor at six water treatment plants that serve approximately 10 million people. This study focused on removing the following compounds: 2-methyl - isoborneol (2-MIB), and trans-1,10-dimethyl-trans-9-decalol (geosmin).
