Precursors of nitrogenous disinfection by-products in drinking water--a critical review and analysis
TLDR
It was calculated that for HANs and HAcAms, the concentrations of known precursors - mainly free amino acids are insufficient to account for the observed concentrations of these N-DBP groups, however, at least in some waters, a significant proportion of CNX and NDMA formation can be explained by known precurors.About:

Occurrence and behaviors of fluorescence EEM-PARAFAC components in drinking water and wastewater treatment systems and their applications: a review
Liyang Yang,Jin Hur,Wan-E Zhuang +2 more
TL;DR: PARAFAC components have been proven to be valuable as surrogates for conventional water quality parameter, to track the changes of organic matter quantity and quality in drinking water and wastewater treatments, and they are also feasible for assessing formations of trihalomethanes and other DBPs and evaluating treatment system performance.

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based wastewater treatment - unexpected nitration side reactions - a serious environmental issue: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of various AOPs in terms of nitro-products formation mechanisms and the associated environmental issues is presented, where the sonochemical nitrogen fixation is a key mechanism for the formation of Nitro-compounds in ultrasound-based AOP.
