Impact of Biological Wastewater Treatment on the Reactivity of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) Precursors [PDF]
N-Nitrosamines are a group of probable human carcinogens associated with 10-6 lifetime cancer risks at low ng/L levels in drinking water. N-nitrosamines can form via the reactions between chloramines (i.e., monochloramine, dichloramine) and organic ...
