TLDR
Results showed that preozonation decreased the formation of trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids (HAAs) and total organic halogen (TOX) for most waters during postchlorination, while a net increase in THMs, HAAs and TOX was observed for a water of low humic content.About:

Coupling of membrane filtration and advanced oxidation processes for removal of pharmaceutical residues: A critical review
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of membrane separation and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is presented for the removal of pharmaceuticals from water, including both membrane permeate and concentrate streams.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fresh fruits and vegetables—An overview on applied methodologies to improve its quality and safety
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the alternative and traditional methodologies is made, pointing out the significant advantage and limitations of each technique and highlighting some of their challenges and limitations. But, further research is still required, since none of the methods reported can control all the parameters necessary to achieve produce with an extending shelf-life, without compromising its quality.

Disinfection by-products and other emerging contaminants in drinking water
TL;DR: Although drinking-water disinfection byproducts (DBPs) have been studied for the last 30 years, significant, new concerns have arisen as discussed by the authors, including adverse reproductive and developmental effects recently observed in human populations, concerns that the types of cancer observed in laboratory animals (for regulated DBPs) do not correlate with the cancers observed in humans (indicating that other DBPs may be important), and concerns arising from human-exposure studies that show that other routes besides ingestion (i.e., inhalation and dermal adsorption) are also significant sources of DBP

Reactivity of natural organic matter with aqueous chlorine and bromine.
TL;DR: Improved knowledge that bromine reacts faster and substitutes more efficiently than chlorine will be useful in developing strategies to control disinfection by-product formation during water treatment.

Chemical and Biological Characterization of Newly Discovered Iodoacid Drinking Water Disinfection Byproducts
Michael J. Plewa,Elizabeth D. Wagner,Susan D. Richardson,Alfred D. Thruston,Yin Tak Woo,A. Bruce McKague +5 more
TL;DR: IA is the most toxic and genotoxic DBP in mammalian cells reported in the literature, and data suggest that chloraminated drinking waters that have high bromide and iodide source waters may contain these iodoacids and most likely other iodo-DBPs.
