Abstract

Characterizes the influence of water quality on chloramine decomposition rates. Evaluates and compares chloramine decomposition rates in distribution systems with rates in model systems. Characterizes the nature of the decomposition products and quantifies selected DBPs. Also develops models and fundamental relationships for predicting chloramine decomposition rates.
