N2 - Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are produced when oxidizing disinfectants, such as chlorine, used in the water treatment process react with naturally occurring organic matter (NOM). Given that most water treatment systems in the United States use chlorine, DBP formation has become a major concern, especially since studies have shown that certain DBPs can cause severe adverse health effects. Accordingly, DBP reduction by removal of precursor material has been an ongoing area of investigation and many processes such as membrane filtration, granular activated carbon, and advanced oxidation have been studied. The focus of this research was to determine the efficacy of implementing photocatalysis at various points in an existing water treatment system for the removal of DBP precursors. 2011
