What Methods Exist to Reduce Chlorinated By-products?
There are several strategies to reduce the formation of chlorinated by-products in water supplies. One approach is to use alternative disinfection methods, such as ozonation or ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which do not produce DBPs. Additionally, improving the removal of organic precursors before disinfection can significantly reduce DBP formation. Techniques such as activated carbon filtration and enhanced coagulation are effective in removing organic matter from water.
