Research

Drinking Water Disinfection By-products

Disinfection of drinking water is necessary in order to reduce the risk of disease transmission, but instead it provides byproducts that can be toxic and carcinogenic. With new analytical methods, the production of such byproducts can be examined.

News

New knowledge can contribute to healthier tap water

Some of the substances used to purify water can affect our health. A thesis presented at LiU illuminates the role played by a relatively unknown group of disinfection by-products in the treatment process and how they can reach the taps in our homes.

Progress in hunt for unknown compounds in drinking water

When we drink a glass of water, we ingest an unknown amount of by-products that are formed in the treatment process. Researchers have been able to detect new compounds – where every water treatment plant has a unique combination.
