Abstract
Performs an occurrence survey of organic and inorganic nitrogen precursors in source waters and nitrogenous disinfection by-products (N-DBPs) in chlorinated and chloraminated finished waters. Determines organic and inorganic nitrogen precursor characteristics and water quality parameters that contribute to N-DBP formation, and mechanisms of N-DBP formation. Research partner: USEPA.
