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:

Enhanced formation of 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol during chlorination after UV/chlorine process: Free amino acid versus oligopeptide
TL;DR: In this article , three Amino acids including free tyrosine and two oligopeptides were selected as model AAs to evaluate the effect of the UV/chlorine process on the formation of 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol (DCNP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid Screening of Haloacetonitriles in Water Samples by Optimized Vortex‐assisted Liquid–Liquid Microextraction
TL;DR: In this paper, a vortex-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction (VALLME) method was proposed for the quick screening of low levels of haloacetonitriles (HANs), a nitrogenous disinfection byproduct.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of UV/PS and UV/H2O2 on Degradation of Natural Organic Matter and Formation Potential of Haloacetonitriles in Surface Water
TL;DR: In this paper , the degradation of organic matters in surface water by UV/PS contributed to mitigation of formation of haloacetonitriles (HANs) comparing with conventional UV-activated hydrogen peroxide (UV/H 2 O 2 ).
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic hydrolysis: A novel role of zero-valent iron in haloacetonitrile degradation and transformation in unbuffered systems.
TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation and transformation of HANs in ZVI system were investigated, and significant decreases of the four HAN compounds were observed, and the HAN degradation rates were dramatically affected by the initial pH, ZVI doses and initial HAN concentration.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
