Abstract

The overall goal of the project was to evaluate the treatment of a representative list of Contaminant Candidate List 3 (CCL 3) chemicals via UV- and ozone-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). The project developed results that both furthered the understanding of biological relevant endpoints for AOP transformation by-products of CCL 3 contaminants and provided practical benefits to utilities by evaluating the process engineering implications of these results. The research team also suggested a suite of biological screening tests that can be performed for various CCL3 chemicals in moderately equipped water quality laboratories.
