Human & Environmental Health Impacts

The role of phytopplankton as pre-cursors for disinfection by-product formation upon chlorination

This project determined disinfection by product contribution from chlorination of algae…

Networks & Treatment

Smart removal of bromides for minimising brominated disinfection by-products in drinking water

Source waters contain a class of chemical compounds collectively known as ‘bromides’…

Networks & Treatment

Occurrence and management of NDMA and other nitrogenous disinfection by-products in Australian drinking and recycled waters

N-nitrosodiumdimethylamine (NDMA) in drinking water is one of many factors – such as a persons’ genes – that cause cancer…

Circular Economy

Treating wastewater for potable reuse: removal of chemicals of concern using advanced oxidation processes

Recycling wastewater by using reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration appears to be associated with the formation of some groups of micropollutants but there is not much information about these processes…

Networks & Treatment

Identifying and quantifying the outcomes of disinfection by-product research: Impacts on the Australian and international water industry

Disinfection is essential for removing harmful microbial pathogens and making safe drinking water but can also cause formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs), some of which pose a health risk…

Networks & Treatment

Develop evidence-based approaches to monitor and manage chlorine & chloramine residuals

Microscopic pathogens in drinking water pose a risk to public health…

Networks & Treatment

Characterisation of DBP formation for water quality management – Stage 1

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…

Networks & Treatment

Nitrosamines, including N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), and other nitrogenous disinfection by-products in Australian drinking waters

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…

Source & Catchments

Optimising conventional treatment for the removal of cyanobacteria and their toxins

Cyanobacterial blooms in surface waters are a source of cells, taste and odour compounds, and a range of toxins…

Networks & Treatment

Optimum control of chloramine in water distribution systems

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…
