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.

Formation of odorous aldehydes, nitriles and N-chloroaldimines from free and combined leucine during chloramination

TL;DR: In this paper , the formation of odorous isovaleraldehyde, isovaleronitrile and N-chloroisovaleraldimine from leucine (Leu), a typical and abundant AA in many drinking water sources, in its free and combined forms during chloramination under several typical addition schemes of disinfectants was investigated.

Granular activated carbon as an adsorbent for simultaneous removal of nitrosodipropylamine (NDPA) and nitrosodibutylamine (NDBA) from water

TL;DR: In this paper, the results showed that granular activated carbon (GAC) might be an excellent agent to prevent water pollution caused by nitrosamines, and the adsorption kinetics and isotherm patterns could be well-described by pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics model and Langmuir model.

Contribution of wastewater- versus non-wastewater-derived sources to haloacetonitriles formation potential in a wastewater-impacted river.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a framework for studying the HAN formation potential (HAN-FP) considering the WWTP and non-WWTP related sources of HAN precursors, and applied this framework to a representative WWTP-impacted river, the Illinois River, USA.

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.
