Assessing disinfection byproduct risks for algal impacted surface waters and the effects of peracetic acid pre-oxidation
Zachary T. Kralles, Kaoru Ikuma, Ning Dai
Abstract
Peracetic acid pre-oxidation of algal impacted waters can reduce formation of trihalomethanes but promote formation of haloacetonitriles, due to the degradation of dissolved organic matter and coincident release of intracellular organic matter.
