Chloro-Organic Water Quality Changes Resulting From Modification of Water Treatment Practices

Abstract

Assesses effects of changing water treatment practices to meet more stringent THM regulations on overall THM and TOX levels in finished water, based on data collected from six U.S. utilities and a pilot plant. Also identifies treatment practices that minimize THM and TOX levels. Published in 1987.
