Download or read book Applying Post Column Reaction Ion Chromatography and Other Techniques to Analysis of Haloacetic Acids in Drinking Water and Sodium Hypochlorite Solutions written by Christina Michelle Henson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haloacetic acids (HAAs) are a class of chlorinated disinfection by-products produces during the chlorination of drinking water. HAAs have potentially adverse health effects and are regulated by the USEPA at a maximum contaminant level of 0.060 mg L-1. Post-column reaction-ion chromatography with nicotinamide fluorescence (PCR-IC) was developed for analysis of HAAs in drinking water. The PCR-IC analyzer has two forms of selectivity toward the HAAs, and originally had method detection limit (MDL) values between 1 - 10 µg L-1.A sequential injection analysis (SIA) module has been developed for fully automated preconcentration of HAAs prior to analysis by PCR-IC--the SIA-PCR-IC. Preconcentration is achieved by solid phase extraction with a resin designed for environmental analysis. Optimization of method parameters was carried out, along with detailed MDL, accuracy, precision, and linearity studies; individual MDL values were all less than 1 µg L-1. Side-by-side comparison studies of HAAs in real-world drinking water samples were also performed, comparing the optimized SIA-PCR-IC method with USEPA Method 552.3. Trace levels of HAAs detected in samples are reported, and bias values calculated between the two methods are less than 10 µg L-1 for eight of the nine individual HAAs.In addition to studies focused on their formation in drinking water, HAAs research has recently branched out to investigate their presence in hypochlorite solutions used for drinking water disinfection. In response to previous work resulting in the detection of HAAs in over 30 different samples of hypochlorite, the PCR-IC analyzer and USEPA 552.3 were utilized to develop and apply a model for determining the contribution of HAAs detected in hypochlorite to those measured in finished water--the Dose-Dilution Model. Application of this model to eight different utilities resulted in an average contribution of about 40%.In order to gain more knowledge about the behavior of HAAs detected in hypochlorite solutions, studies were developed to monitor their formation and stability using the PCR-IC; short- and long-term storage temperature conditions were varied, while monitoring HAAs. Results suggest that HAAs formation occurs immediately following hypochlorite generation, while degradation was observed over time at various rates depending on strength and storage temperature. .

Download or read book Some Drinking water Disinfectants and Contaminants Including Arsenic written by IARC Working Group on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans and published by IARC. This book was released on 2004 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A working group of 23 experts from 13 countries met in Lyon to evaluate the evidence for carcinogenicity of arsenic (mostly naturally occurring) as a contaminant of drinking-water, and of the water-disinfectant chloramine. The working group also evaluated or re-evaluated four chlorination by-products found in drinking-water, namely chloral hydrate, di- and trichloroacetic acids, and 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (also known as MX). High-level exposure to arsenic in drinking-water occurs in some regions such as China, Latin America, Bangladesh and West Bengal. The Working Group reviewed epidemiological studies of human cancer (mainly ecological studies in Taiwan and Chile, and several case-control and cohort studies) in relation to arsenic in drinking-water. Arsenic in drinking-water (primarily inorganic, as arsenate and to a lesser extent arsenite) was evaluated as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1) on the basis of sufficient evidence for an increased risk for cancer of the urinary bladder, lung and skin. Studies on inorganic arsenic in experimental animals provided limited evidence for its carcinogenicity, but sufficient evidence was found in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of dimethylarsinic acid (an organic form of arsenic), which produced urinary bladder tumours in rats and lung tumours in mice after oral administration.

Download or read book Watershed Management for Potable Water Supply written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-02-17 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997, New York City adopted a mammoth watershed agreement to protect its drinking water and avoid filtration of its large upstate surface water supply. Shortly thereafter, the NRC began an analysis of the agreement's scientific validity. The resulting book finds New York City's watershed agreement to be a good template for proactive watershed management that, if properly implemented, will maintain high water quality. However, it cautions that the agreement is not a guarantee of permanent filtration avoidance because of changing regulations, uncertainties regarding pollution sources, advances in treatment technologies, and natural variations in watershed conditions. The book recommends that New York City place its highest priority on pathogenic microorganisms in the watershed and direct its resources toward improving methods for detecting pathogens, understanding pathogen transport and fate, and demonstrating that best management practices will remove pathogens. Other recommendations, which are broadly applicable to surface water supplies across the country, target buffer zones, stormwater management, water quality monitoring, and effluent trading.
Download or read book Drinking Water Distribution Systems written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-12-22 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protecting and maintaining water distributions systems is crucial to ensuring high quality drinking water. Distribution systems-consisting of pipes, pumps, valves, storage tanks, reservoirs, meters, fittings, and other hydraulic appurtenances-carry drinking water from a centralized treatment plant or well supplies to consumers' taps. Spanning almost 1 million miles in the United States, distribution systems represent the vast majority of physical infrastructure for water supplies, and thus constitute the primary management challenge from both an operational and public health standpoint. Recent data on waterborne disease outbreaks suggest that distribution systems remain a source of contamination that has yet to be fully addressed. This report evaluates approaches for risk characterization and recent data, and it identifies a variety of strategies that could be considered to reduce the risks posed by water-quality deteriorating events in distribution systems. Particular attention is given to backflow events via cross connections, the potential for contamination of the distribution system during construction and repair activities, maintenance of storage facilities, and the role of premise plumbing in public health risk. The report also identifies advances in detection, monitoring and modeling, analytical methods, and research and development opportunities that will enable the water supply industry to further reduce risks associated with drinking water distribution systems.

Book excerpt: The best papers from the three-day conference on Safe Drinking Water from Source to Tap June 2009 in Maastricht are published in this book covering the themes of challenges of the water sector and adaptive strategies, treatment, distribution, risk assessment and risk management, sensors and monitoring, small scale systems, simulation, alternative water supply & sources, consumer involvement, and future drinking water. Worldwide, the water supply sector is facing tremendous challenges. Every new emerging contaminants and pathogens and aging infrastructures that are vulnerable for deliberate contamination pose a threat to the quality of water supplies. Shortage of good quality and readily treatable resources is increasing due to global warming, urbanisation and pollution from agriculture and industry. Regulators and consumers are becoming more demanding. Techneau - the largest European project on drinking water - addresses these challenges by developing adaptive supply system options and new and improved treatment and monitoring technologies. Future system options to be studied are flexible, small scale and multi-source supplies, utilising non conventional resources like brackish ground water, treated wastewater and urban groundwater.
