N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a probable human carcinogen that forms in drinking water as disinfection byproduct. Several specific precursor chemicals present during chloramination are known but cannot account for the total observed NDMA formation potential (FP) waters. We discovered pharmaceutical of with high FP using liquid chromatography/quadrupole/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/QTOF-MS) screening procedure. The methadone, which used to mitigate heroin withdrawal symptoms and...
Abstract This study compared 3 commonly used quenching agents for dechlorinating samples prior to disinfection byproduct (DBP) analysis under typical drinking water sampling conditions a representative suite of chlorination byproducts. Ascorbic acid and sodium sulfite quenched the residual free chlorine below detection within 5 seconds. Ammonium chloride did not quench with up 70% molar excess, which agrees published ammonium chloride-chlorine chemistry. With respect DBPs, ascorbic worked...
The precise identification of predominant toxic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) from disinfected water is a longstanding challenge. We propose new acellular analytical strategy, the 'Thiol Reactome', to identify thiol-reactive DBPs by employing thiol probe and nontargeted mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. Disinfected/oxidized samples had reduced cellular oxidative stress responses 46 ± 23% in Nrf2 reporter cells when preincubated with glutathione (GSH). This supports as drivers stress. method...
Abstract Polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (polyDADMAC) and epichlorohydrin-dimethylamine (Epi-DMA) stock olutions were prepared, stored for varying amounts of time, used in bench-scale simulations coagulation/flocculation/sedimentation to determine whether polymer age had an influence on NDMA yields. Stock solution ages ranged from under one hour fifty hours. PolyDADMAC did not significantly affect production. Epi-DMA increased production over a time span 0 5 hours, but 50 The...
