Emerging disinfection by-products’ formation potential in raw water, wastewater, and treated wastewater in Thailand

TL;DR: The highest lethal concentration 50- Weighted and lowest cytotoxicity-weighted concentrations of DBPs were determined for HANFP and THMFP was found as the highest DBPs.

Preparation and Characterization of Chitosan-Zeolite Molecular Sieve Composite for Ammonia and Nitrate Removal:

TL;DR: A new zeolite molecular sieve modified with chitosan was prepared and employed for the adsorption of ammonia and nitrate from underground water as mentioned in this paper, and a batch of experiments were performed to investigate t...

Simulation and optimisation of spiral-wound reverse osmosis process for the removal of N-nitrosamine from wastewater

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of operating parameters of the SWRO process on the removal of N-nitrosamine, total water recovery, and specific energy consumption for a SWRO configurations are evaluated via simulation and optimisation.

Effects of 2,2-dichloroacetamide (DCAcAm), an emerging disinfection by-product in drinking water, on the intestinal microbiota of adult zebrafish.

TL;DR: The results reveal thatDBPs in drinking water potentially affect gut microbiota composition, which may contribute to the toxicity assessment of DBPs in future and provide new insight into the complex interactions between the DBPsIn drinking water and host health.

Tetracycline antibiotics as precursors of dichloroacetamide and other disinfection byproducts during chlorination and chloramination.

TL;DR: The high yields observed in this study suggest that tetracycline antibiotics are possible precursors of DCAcAm, which would suggest that disinfection byproduct (DBP) formation during subsequent water treatment is linked to cytotoxicity.

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.
