WRF - NlTROSAMINE OCCURRENCE SURVEY -
Stuart W., et al., 2016. WRF Report 4461.
Collected data from finished water at 37 wastewater
treatment plants to determine the occurrence of
nitrosamines. Precursors included: some polymers,
chloramines, and seasonal changes in raw water.
Recommendations to determine source of precursors;
examine nitrosamine occurrence, precursor loading, and
treatment efficacy seasonally and annually; and reduce
precursors and NDMA.
