Determination of low-level haloacetic acids, bromate, and dalapon in drinking water using IC-MS
16 Aug 2024Disinfection treatment is essential to eliminate waterborne disease-causing microorganisms from drinking water. However, these disinfectants can react with naturally occurring material in the water to form unintended disinfection byproducts (DBPs). For example, chlorination of drinking water can produce trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids (HAAs), and chlorate; bromate is formed when disinfecting ozone reacts with natural sources of bromide. These DBPs may pose health risks. Explore a method developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific to determine haloacetic acids, bromate, and dalapon in drinking and surface waters using an ion chromatography (IC) system coupled with single quadrupole mass spectrometer (IC-MS).
