This second edition demonstrates how chemistry influences the design of water treatment
plants and how it should influence the design. Historically, water treatment plants have been …

Problems due to the taste and odor in drinking water are common in treatment facilities
around the world. Taste and odor are perceived by the public as the primary indicators of the …

This review covers literatures pertaining to algal and cyanobacterial odor problems that
have been published over the last five decades. Proper evaluation of algal and …

Taste and odour (T&O) causing compounds, in particular, 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) and
geosmin, are a problem for water authorities as they are recalcitrant to conventional water …

The release of intracellular microcystin-LR (MC-LR), 2-methylisoborneol (MIB), and geosmin
was investigated after the oxidation of three cyanobacteria (Microcystis aeruginosa (MA) …
