| Abstract |
Disinfection byproducts are among those compounds being considered for regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1986. One of the most significant disinfection byproducts for those utilities that use chlorine are total trihalomethanes (TTHMs). Utilities may be forced to consider disinfectants other than chlorine and to consider treatment modifications that might include new options ranging from improved conventional treatment to granular activated carbon (SAC) adsorption. EPA's Drinking Water Research Division has collected extensive treatment data for removal of organics including TTHM, their precursors, Total Organic Carbon (TOC), and Total Organic Halide (TOX) at several water utilities under actual operating conditions. In these studies, GAC was used at some sites to determine its ability to remove those organic compounds present after conventional treatment. |
