PROJECT DETAILS


  • Project No 1051
  • Project Name Transformation Chemistry of EDCS/PPCPS resulting from the disinfection of drinking water
  • Lead Organisation Water Research Australia
  • Research Lead Griffith University
  • Main Researcher Fred Leusch

Status: In Progress

Focus Area: Networks & Treatment

National Research Priority: Supply Optimisation

Topics: chloramine, chlorine, chlorine dioxide, disinfection, drinking water, toxic, toxicology

Project Description

This project proposes to use novel concepts in computational chemistry to predict the likely transformation products (TP) of relevant EDCs/PPCPs with a range of disinfection and oxidation options (such as chlorine, chloramines and chlorine dioxide) commonly used in the production of drinking water, and to apply comprehensive in vitro toxicity testing to determine their likely toxicity profile.
