This project aimed to:
identify chemicals responsible for tastes and odours from coal tar enamel lined pipes. A desktop survey of the toxicity of these chemicals is included
replicate and investigate the mechanism of tainting by laboratory simulation, and to analyse any disinfection by-products
investigate methods for eliminating the taste and odours, and to verify that any recommended treatment does not produce any toxic by-products
