Characterization of Natural Organic Matter and Disinfection By-products Formed After Chemical Disinfection of Water

(Corresponding) Postigo C., (Corresponding) Andersson A., Mourad H., Bastviken D., Gonsior M., Schmitt-Kopplin P., Gago-Ferrero P., Ahrens L., Ahrens L., Wiberg K.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Chemical disinfection of water has been commonly applied to protect public health from waterborne infectious diseases. Chemical disinfectants are strong oxidants that react with the building blocks or alter the metabolism of pathogenic organisms, killing them as the final consequence. These...Read more

Human exposure to PFCs by drinking water

Thomaidi V., Tsahouridou A., (Corresponding) Petreas M., Stasinakis A., (Corresponding) Kalantzi O.

Topic:

Drinking water safety

The purposes of this study were to investigate the presence and potential health risks of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in drinking water. An extended literature review was initially conducted to collect monitoring data of PFCs in drinking water, worldwide. In order to assess the potential risk...Read more

Treatment of drinking water by UV/Cl2: a study of β-cyclocitral, a cyanobacterial taste & odor compound.

Avagianos C., Antonopoulou M., Dimotikali D., Hiskia A., (Corresponding) Kaloudis T.

Topic:

Water treatment

Homogeneous photocatalytic processes are receiving increased interest with regards to drinking water treatment for emerging pollutants. Especially the UV/Cl2 technique has a potential for real large-scale applications as it can combine disinfection with chemical oxidation using processes that are...Read more

Rapid bacteria detection in drinking water samples with on-chip Mach-Zehnder Interferometers

(Corresponding) Angelopoulou M., Petrou P., Misiakos K., Raptis I., Kakabakos S.

Topic:

Drinking water safety

Drinking water contamination by pathogenic bacteria poses a great danger for public health, since according to WHO 5 million deaths are associated to water related diseases annually. To safeguard drinking water quality, several techniques for bacteria detection, such as culturing and plating, ELISA...Read more
