Disinfection means the killing of pathogenic organisms (eg bacteria and its spores, viruses,
protozoa and their cysts, worms, and larvae) present in water to make it potable for other …

The occurrence of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) is related both to drinking water treatment
(DWT) processes and to raw water's characteristics. Emerging pollutants typically occur in …

The quality of drinking-water supplies is of fundamental importance to public health and
sustainable development. Here, we provide a spatial assessment of the tap-water quality …

Background: Trihalomethanes (THMs) are widespread disinfection by-products (DBPs) in
drinking water, and long-term exposure has been consistently associated with increased …

When micropollutants degrade in the environment, they may form persistent and toxic
transformation products, which should be accounted for in the environmental risk …

The potential cross-contamination of pathogens between clean and contaminated produce
in the washing tank is highly dependent on the water quality. Process wash water …

In recent years, dozens of halogenated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) with cyclic structures
were identified and detected in drinking water globally. Previous in vivo toxicity studies have …

Iodine is a naturally-occurring halogen in natural waters generally present in concentrations
between 0.5 and 100 µg L− 1. During oxidative drinking water treatment, iodine-containing …

Water disinfection involves the use of different types of disinfectants, which are oxidizing
agents that react with natural organic matter (NOM) to form disinfection by-products (DBPs) …

Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are a class of compounds generated during chemical
