Study Examines How Disinfection Changes Affect Water Quality

摘要

Many water utilities across the United States have already revised their disinfection strategies to comply with increasingly stringent regulations for microbial contaminants and disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Others are reconsidering their strategies in an effort to achieve enhanced disinfection of microbial agents or to reduce the formation of DBPs in anticipation of the upcoming Long Term Stage 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule and the Stage 2 Disinfectant/ Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
