Occurrence and control of nitrogenous disinfection by-products in drinking water--a review.
TLDR
A critical review of the occurrence and control of nitrogenous disinfection by-products is provided, finding that the sum of analysed halonitromethanes represented 3-4% of the mass of THMs on a median basis.About:

Contribution of amide-based coagulant polyacrylamide as precursors of haloacetamides and other disinfection by-products
TL;DR: In this article, the amide-based organic polymer coagulants polyacrylamide (PAM) and its monomer acrylamides (AM) can serve as a source of HAcAm and other DBPs including trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetonitriles (HANs) during chlor(am)ination.

Characterisation of algogenic organic matter during an algal bloom and its implications for trihalomethane formation
TL;DR: In this article, an algal bloom was investigated using XAD-fractionation and UV absorbance measurements, and the reactivity of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) with chlorine was assessed using trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP) and bromine incorporation measurements to monitor whether THM yield and speciation varied between different growth phases.

Quantification of Total N-Nitrosamine Concentrations in Aqueous Samples via UV-Photolysis and Chemiluminescence Detection of Nitric Oxide
TL;DR: A novel method for the determination of total N-Nitrosamines by UV-photolysis and subsequent chemiluminescence detection of nitric oxide demonstrates its utility for assessing whether N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) or other specific nitrosamines of current interest are dominant or minor components of the total N -nitrosamine pool in technical aquatic systems or biological samples.

Potential risks and approaches to reduce the toxicity of disinfection by-product - A review.
TL;DR: In this paper , a review mainly focuses on the toxicology effects of Disinfectant by-products and various approaches to mitigate the same, including reverse osmosis, ultra-filtration, and nanofiltration.

TL;DR: Comparisons to previously measured N-DBP concentrations in drinking water suggest that the AOM from the algae and cyanobacteria examined in this study are not likely to be a major source of precursors for either DCAN or NDMA in real waters, however, AOM may present a major precursor source for other N-nitrosamines.

Occurrence, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity of regulated and emerging disinfection by-products in drinking water: a review and roadmap for research.
TL;DR: The brominated DBPs were the most genotoxic of all but have not been tested for carcinogenicity and highlighted the emerging importance of dermal/inhalation exposure to the THMs, or possibly other DBPs, and the role of genotype for risk for drinking-water-associated bladder cancer.

Reactions of chlorine with inorganic and organic compounds during water treatment—Kinetics and mechanisms: A critical review
TL;DR: Comparison of chlorine to ozone reactivity towards aromatic compounds (electrophilic attack) shows a good correlation, with chlorine rate constants being about four orders of magnitude smaller than those for ozone.

TL;DR: A survey of disinfection byproduct (DBP) occurrence in the United States was conducted at 12 drinking water treatment plants to obtain quantitative occurrence information for new DBPs (beyond those currently regulated and/or studied) for prioritizing future health effects studies.
