These plants had all sorts of water qualities and used different treatment and disinfection methods. Plants that treated water heavily affected by wastewater had fewer trihalomethanes compared to dihaloacetonitriles. Why? More organic nitrogen and HAN precursors were present. As the ratio of bromide to total organic carbon went up, more bromine went into the DBPs. Other studies have shown this for THMs and some emerging DBPs like HANs, but this study looked at a wider range of emerging DBPs, including haloacetaldehydes and halonitromethanes. Interestingly, bromine's incorporation into these emerging DBPs was generally similar to how it worked with THMs. Epidemiology studies link adverse health effects to brominated THMs. This might actually be because brominated emerging DBPs, which are a health concern, are forming. Plants that used free chlorine for longer contact times before adding ammonia to create chloramines had less iodinated DBP formation in their chloraminated distribution systems. This happened because chlorine oxidized more iodide into iodate, which essentially removes the iodide. Many lab studies, mostly on iodinated THMs, have shown this, but few full-scale studies have. This study, however, did show the impact on total organic iodine in a real-world setting. Overall, THMs, haloacetic acids, and emerging DBPs made up a significant portion of the total organic chlorine (TOCl), total organic bromine (TOBr), and total organic iodine (TOI). Still, about 50% of the TOCl and TOBr remains unknown. The fact that the total amount of detected DBPs correlates with TOCl and TOBr suggests we can use them as reliable indicators.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post Relationships between regulated DBPs and emerging DBPs of health concern in U.S. drinking water appeared first on Facts About Water.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Water Feed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stuart W.Krasner1\u204e\u204eAiJia1Chih-Fen T.Lee1RahaShirkhani1Joshua M.Allen2\u204e\u204e\u204eSusan D.Richardson2Michael J.Plewa34 https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/art&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":87923,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,29],"tags":[22],"class_list":["post-2034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-water-filter","category-water-treatment","tag-ro"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ampac1.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ampac1.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ampac1.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ampac1.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ampac1.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2034"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.ampac1.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2034\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":89360,"href":"https:\/\/www.ampac1.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2034\/revisions\/89360"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ampac1.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ampac1.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ampac1.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ampac1.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
