MONITORING DRINKING WATER TREATMENT STAGES USING FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY

摘要

Surface water is a recipient of wastewater effluents and nonpoint source pollutants and is a source of drinking water. Surface water becomes contaminated by natural organic matter (NOM) and by anthropogenic organic compounds. Because surface water is a major source of drinking water, the presence of organic contaminants in drinking water sources and the ability of the chemicals to be removed via drinking water treatment are of concern.
