Source waters are disinfected to remove harmful pathogens, but chlorine reacts with organic matter and bromides to form disinfection by-products (DBPs) which can affect health…
Components of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in source waters can react with disinfecting chlorine or chloramine to form nitrogenous disinfection byproducts (n-DBPs) which might be toxic and hazardous to health…
Chlorine removes harmful pathogens from water but has the disadvantage of forming disinfection by-products (DBPs) by reacting with organic matter sometimes found in water…
Remote and regional Australian communities commonly produce potable water by removing salt from brackish groundwater…
The filters in some water treatment plants have a biofilm of bacteria which degrades and removes cyanotoxins…
The aim of this project was to examine the utility of ultra-violet (UV) spectroscopy as a real-time water quality monitoring system…
Some remote and regional areas of Australia rely on groundwater…
Water is disinfected to remove harmful microbes and pathogens such as cholera and typhoid…
This project developed analytical methods sensitive enough to detect the very low levels of compounds that leach out of old coal tar enamel-lined pipes, then catalogued the chemicals and the levels they were found at in a problematic pipeline…
