Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are formed from the reaction between disinfectants (chlorine, ozone, chlorine dioxide, chloramines or UV) and precursors (natural organic matter and anthropogenic pollutants) in drinking water treatment processes. After the water distribution system, human exposure to DBPs via various contact methods is inevitable. Toxicity and epidemiological studies reveal their carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and other health risks.
This Special Issue will focus on highlighting timely research studies addressing disinfection byproducts in drinking water. Authors are invited and welcome to submit original research papers, reviews, and short communications.
Topics may include but are not limited to the following:
- Identification and removal of disinfection byproduct precursors;
- Identification of new disinfection byproducts;
- Control and removal of disinfection byproducts;
- Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity caused by disinfection byproducts.
