Disinfection of drinking water and recreation pools most effectively reduces/eliminates water-borne diseases. However, common disinfectants (e.g. chlorine, chloramines, ozone, and chlorine dioxide) can react with natural organic matter in the source water to produce disinfection byproducts (DBPs). The majority of DBPs remain unidentified. Potential adverse health risks observed in epidemiological studies drive analytical research to identify and determine what DBPs may be the contributors. This study aims to characterize emerging DBPs of toxicological relevance and investigate the occurrence of these DBPs in swimming pools.
