Development and Application of a Total Nitrosamine Assay for Disinfected Waters

Abstract

This project adapted an analytical method that had been developed for the analysis of total nitroso species in blood to the quantification of total N-nitrosamines in disinfected waters. The research applied this method to disinfected recreational waters, wastewaters, and drinking waters. When combined with the analysis of specific N-nitrosamines by EPA Method 521, the total N-nitrosamine assay would indicate the relative importance of the EPA Method 521 nitrosamines to the total nitrosamine pool. Published in 2012.
