WATER ANALYSIS: EMERGING CONTAMINANTS AND CURRENT ISSUES: 2007 REVIEW
Citation:
RICHARDSON, S. D. WATER ANALYSIS: EMERGING CONTAMINANTS AND CURRENT ISSUES: 2007 REVIEW. Analytical Chemistry. American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, 79(12):4295-4324, (2007).
Impact/Purpose:
(1) Use a toxicity-based approach to prioritize and identify DBPs that show the greatest toxic response. (2) Comprehensively identify DBPs formed by different disinfectant regimes for the 'Four Lab Study'. (3) Determine the mechanisms of formation for potentially hazardous bromonitromethane DBPs.
Description:
This biennial review covers developments in Water Analysis over the period of 2005-2006. A few significant references that appeared between January and March 2007 are also included. Analytical Chemistry's current policy is to limit reviews to include 200-250 significant references and to focus on new trends. As a result, as was done in the previous 2005 Water Analysis review, this 2007 review is limited to new, emerging contaminants and environmental issues that are driving most of the current research. Even with a narrow focus, only a small fraction of the quality research publications could be discussed. As a result, this review will not be comprehensive, but will highlight new areas and discuss representative papers in the areas of focus.
