Granular Activated Carbon Treatment May Result in Higher Predicted Genotoxicity in the Presence of Bromide
Krasner, Stuart W.; Fen Lee, Tiffany Chih; Westerhoff, Paul; Fischer, Natalia; Hanigan, David; Karanfil, Tanju; Beita Sandí, Wilson; Taylor Edmonds, Liz; Andrews, Robert C. (2016-07-28)Certain unregulated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are more of a health concern than regulated DBPs. Brominated species are typically more cytotoxic and genotoxic than their chlorinated analogs. The impact of granular ... -
Removal of both N-nitrosodimethylamine and trihalomethanes precursors in a single treatment using ion exchange resins
Beita Sandí, Wilson; Karanfil, Tanju (2017-11-01)Drinking water utilities are relying more than ever on water sources impacted by wastewater effluents. Disinfection/oxidation of these waters during water treatment may lead to the formation of several disinfection ... -
Removal of N-nitrosodimethylamine precursors with powdered activated carbon adsorption
Beita Sandí, Wilson; Selim Ersan, Mahmut; Uzun, Habibullah; Karanfil, Tanju (2016-01-01)The main objective of this study was to examine the roles of powdered activated carbon (PAC) characteristics (i.e., surface chemistry, pore size distribution, and surface area) in the removal of N-nitrosodimethylamine ... -
The role of chloramine species in NDMA formation
Selbes, Meric; Beita Sandí, Wilson; Kim, Daekyun; Karanfil, Tanju (2018-09)N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen disinfection by-product, has been detected in chloraminated drinking water systems. Understanding its formation over time is important to control NDMA levels in ...
