since the surface water is one of the main potable water resources, the usage of chlorine as a disinfectant has increased. consequently the production rate of disinfection by-products (dbps) such as trihalomethane (thm) compounds has grown dramatically. in this paper the thms concentration changes in the sangar water treatment plant (swtp) and rasht water distribution system (rwds) is presented...

During rain storm events, land surface runoff and resuspension of bottom sediments cause an increase in Trihalomethane (THM) precursors in rivers. These precursors, when chlorinated at water treatment facilities will lead to the formation of THMs and hence impact drinking water resources. In order to evaluate the wet weather impact on the potential formation of THMs, river samples were collecte...

Trihalomethanes (THM) are the most typical disinfection by-products (DBPs) found in public swimming pool water. DBPs are produced when organic and inorganic matter in water reacts with chemical disinfectants. The irregular contribution of substances from pool visitors and long contact time with disinfectant make the forecast of THM in pool water a challenge. In this work occurrence of THM in a ...

Significant fractions of bromine-substituted disinfection byproducts (DBPs)—particularly trihalomethanes (THMs)— have been observed to form during treatment of water from the Missouri River. THM speciation was also noted to follow a seasonal pattern during a 2.5-year period, during which samples were collected multiple times per month. Although some treatment processes were effective at reducin...

BACKGROUND-These studies were initiated to confirm that high-level thrombomodulin overexpression is sufficient to limit neointima formation after mechanical overdilation injury. METHODS AND RESULTS-An adenoviral construct expressing thrombomodulin (Adv/RSV-THM) was created and functionally characterized in vitro and in vivo. The impact of local overexpression of thrombomodulin on neointima form...

A comparative study of two coagulants, aluminum sulfate (Alum) and aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH), used in parallel in a full scale water treatment plant (WTP) in Ohio from October 2009 to December 2012, was conducted to determine disinfection by-product (DBP) formation potential removal based on both dissolved organic matter (DOM) and fluorescence-derived metrics. Water quality parameters and fl...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha is widely distributed in the vasculature where it is believed to exert pleiotropic antiatherogenic effects. Its role in the regulation of blood pressure is still unresolved; however, some evidence suggests that it may affect the renin-angiotensin system. We investigated its role in angiotensin II-induced hypertension in the Tsukuba hypertensive m...

compared to conventional chlorination methods which apply chlorine at water treatment plant, booster chlorination has almost solved the problems of high dosages of chlorine residuals near water sources and lack of chlorine residuals in the remote points of a water distribution system (wds). however, control of trihalomethane (thm) formation as a potentially carcinogenic disinfection by-product ...

We examined the synthesis, physical properties, and resist properties of various iodine-containing molecules polymers as materials. By condensation reaction 2,6-dimethylphenol (DMP) with 4-iodebenzaldehyde (IBA), 3,5-diiodesalicylaldehyde (DISA) 4-hydroxy-3,5-diiodebenzaldehyde (HDIA), corresponding iodine containing compounds DIPM, 2-DIPM, 4-DIPM were synthesized. The these adamantyl bromo ace...
