Experimental disinfection by-product formation potential following rainfall events.

TL;DR: The importance of strictly controlling OM levels during drinking water treatment to ensure safe drinking water quality throughout the distribution system is confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinetics and mechanisms of degradation of chloroacetonitriles by the UV/H2O2 process.

TL;DR: The nucleophilic attack increased linearly with increasing [Formula: see text] concentration as a result of increasing H 2O2 concentration and/or pH, while the •OH oxidation was less dependent on H2O2 concentrations and/ or pH.

Halogenation Chemistry of Hydraulic Fracturing Additives under Highly Saline Simulated Subsurface Conditions.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that relevant subsurface reactions between natural brines and hydraulic fracturing additives can result in the unintended formation of halogenated products.

Fate of NDMA precursors through an MBR-NF pilot plant for urban wastewater reclamation and the effect of changing aeration conditions.

TL;DR: During normal aerobic operation, implying a fully nitrifying system, the MBR was able to reduce NDMA precursors above 94%, however this removal percentage was reduced to values as low as 72% when changing the conditions to minimize nitrification.

Halogenated fatty amides - A brand new class of disinfection by-products.

TL;DR: An array of similar halogenated nitrogen-containing compounds with elemental composition CnH2nNO2X, Cnh2n-2 NO2X and CnNH2N-1NOX2 was detected in drinking water with high performance liquid chromatography - high resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-HRMS) method and may be considered as a brand new class of disinfection by products.

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.

Occurrence of a New Generation of Disinfection Byproducts

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.
