Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As reflected by the title, the special issue publishes research regarding disinfection by-products (DBPs) generated during water purification or transportation system adopting chlorine, ozone, chlorine dioxide and UV as disinfectant. DBPs are involved in hot research area because of their toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic properties. Interesting topics include (1)identification of novel DBPs out of our knowledge, creative analysis method for DBPs qualification; (2)the generation mechanism, formation potential and related precursors during disinfection process; (3) the occurrence and distribution characteristic in water treatment plant and local water supply system; (4) DBPs directly degradation through oxidation, dehalogenated through reduction reaction, removal through adsorption and DBPs control indirectly through decrement of the precursors; (4) the impact and risk assessment on human health and environmental safety. The purpose of the special issue aims to provide the communicating platform for the scholars, to present research developments of DBPs and to make document record for the DBPs study.
