Besides climate change impacts on water availability and hydrological risks, the
consequences on water quality is just beginning to be studied. This review aims at …

A range of trace chemical contaminants have been reported to occur in swimming pools.
Current disinfection practices and monitoring of swimming pool water quality are aimed at …

Legionella is able to remain in water as free-living planktonic bacteria or to grow within
biofilms that adhere to the pipes. It is also able to enter amoebas or to switch into a viable …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentration and composition in riverine and stream
systems are known to vary with hydrological and productivity cycles over the annual and …

Controlling the formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) requires prior knowledge of DBP
formation potential. Mathematical models can accurately predict the formation of DBPs and …

Removal of small neutral solutes (SNSs) by reverse osmosis membranes is crucial but
challenging. Common consideration of narrowing pore sizes works very little as SNSs have …

Ultimate analysis and heating value determination are two of the most important routine
analyses for exploiting agricultural wastes for energy conversion. The use of near infrared …

Oxidation of raw water with chlorine results in formation of trihalomethanes (THM) and
haloacetic acids (HAA). Factors affecting their concentrations have been found to be organic …

Formation of trihalomethanes (THMs) in chlorinated waters poses high risk to humans.
Strategies for the THM control require pre-knowledge of their levels in the water …

There appears to be very good epidemiological evidence for a relationship between
chlorination by-products, as measured by trihalomethanes (THMs), in drinking water and …
