Chlorination of drinking water is essential to prevent waterborne disease. However, chlorine
reacts with organic matter present in surface waters to form various by-products. In the last …

Disinfection byproduct (DBP) pre-formation is a major issue when prechlorination is used
before or during advanced treatment of impacted drinking water sources. Control strategies …

The occurrence of regulated and non-regulated disinfection by-products (DBPs) was
investigated in the drinking water of small systems in two provinces in Canada …

The non-regulated disinfection by-products (NrDBP) targeted in this study include four
haloacetonitriles (trichloroacetonitrile (TCAN); dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN); …

Based on the measured chemical and physical data in drinking water from six cities in

The impact of elevated bromide concentrations (399 to 750 μg/L) on the formation of
halogenated disinfection by-products (DBPs), namely trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids …

This Discussion argues that municipal water utilities may need to consider the health risks of
both opportunistic pathogens (OPs) and disinfection by-products (DBPs) while selecting …

The occurrences of trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs) and heterotrophic
bacteria were monitored in five small water systems over a nine-month period to investigate …

To cope with the demand for good-quality potable water, household point-of-use (POU)
facilities such as polypropylene cotton filters (PCFs) are widely used. However, the …
