- Project No 4052
- Project Name The influence of organic matter molecular weight on DBP formation
- Lead Organisation Water Research Australia

Project Description
This project investigated the relationship between disinfection by-product (DBP) formation in drinking water and the molecular weight distribution of its natural organic matter precursors (NOM) to help increase our understanding of how NOM properties such as size, aromaticity and structure affect DBP formation and toxicity of the formed DBPs.
Honours Thesis completed by Sophie Day in 2012.
