U.S. EPA. Data Set: Water Quality Parameter Response Data for 5 Different Finished Drinking Waters from 4 Large Municipalities. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/R-13/179, 2013.
Impact/Purpose:
Bench-scale experiments were conducted to measure the response of water quality parameters to contaminants that are potential threats to the drinking water supply. The experiments were conducted in beakers at the U.S. EPA Test and Evaluation (T&E) Facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. Five different types of finished waters from four municipalities within the United States were evaluated. In general, the data showed that the type of disinfectant, treatment process, or water source did not greatly affect the water quality parameter response to the injected contaminants. There was an overall slower parameter response time for chloraminated waters than for chlorinated waters.
