Magnuson*, M L. MASS SPECTROMETRY OF DRINKING WATER CONTAMINANTS: DISINFECTION BY-PRODUCTS AND THE US EPA CONTAMINANT CANDIDATE LIST COMPOUNDS. Presented at Presentation at University of Cincinnati, US EPA Graduate Seminar Series, Cincinnati, OH, 12/1/99.
Description:
Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are the thousands of compounds created during the disinfection of drinking water. These compounds can create potential health risks, challenge drinking water treatment technology, and pose difficulties in their analysis. Research in the use of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and electrospray-mass spectrometry to analyze these compounds will be presented. Examples will include haloacetic acids and bromate. Other examples of these techniques will be compounds on the US EPA,s Candidate Contaminant List (CCL), such as pesticides and perchlorate.
