TL;DR: Management of biofilm growth in water distribution systems requires an integrated approach, starting from the treatment of water prior to entering the networks to the potential implementation of "biofilm-limiting" operational conditions and, finally, ending with the careful selection of available technologies for biofilm monitoring and control.

TL;DR: The photocatalytic removal of humic acid using TiO2 under UVA irradiation was found to be effective in removing more than 80% DOC and 90% UV(254) absorbance, and the THMFPs of samples were decreased to below 20 microg l(-1) after treatments, which demonstrate the potential to meet increasingly stringent regulatory level of trihalomethanes in water.

TL;DR: In this article, natural zeolite coated with titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) was used as an adsorbent to rapidly remove humic acid (HA) from an aqueous solution.

TL;DR: High-performance size exclusion chromatography analysis showed that NOM with apparent molecular weights of 1-4 kDa were preferentially degraded, leading to the formation of lower molecular weight organic compounds, including trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids.

TL;DR: Multi-wavelength UV detection of HPSEC analysis was shown to be useful to display further changes to NOM composition and molecular weight profiles because the organic molecules was transformed into compounds that absorb weakly at the typical detection wavelength of 250-260 nm.
