In this study high performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) was used to compare an ultrafiltration (UF) membrane and alum coagulation for their capacity to remove different fractions of natural organic matter (NOM) from water. At the same time, the removal of disinfection by-product (DBP) precursors, as measured by trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP) and haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP), was also detected. The results show that the UF membrane mainly removed the aliphatic biopolymer fraction, while alum coagulation mainly removed the humic substances fraction. The results of DBP precursor analysis show that more THMFP was removed by the UF membrane than HAAFP, while the reverse was true for alum coagulation. It is conjectured that the aliphatic biopolymer fraction is the major precursor for trihalomethanes (THMs), while the humic substances fraction is the major precursor for haloacetic acids (HAAs).

Little information is available on the evolution of remaining organic matter (ROM) in a water distribution system (WDS) and its impact on the generation of disinfection by-products (DBPs). This research involves the characterization, through sample fractionation processes and experimental chlorination tests, of the reactivity of DBP precursors occurring within a WDS. The study is based on samples collected in various locations of a WDS during a complete year. For each sample, six fractions were generated to determine their potential for formation of trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs). Fractionation processes on ROM demonstrated that the spatial behavior of precursors for THMs differs from that for precursors of HAAs. In addition, experimental chlorination tests showed that the reactivity of the investigated fractions, in terms of DBP formation potential (DBPfp), was different from each other according to location in the WDS. DBPfp for the studied fractions changed drastically during water treatment. However, changes of DBPfp for fractions were relatively low between the beginning and the extremity of the distribution system. Since the results of this research confirm that the ability to produce DBPs is related to the nature of the fractions, they could be useful to evaluate the impact of re-chlorination on DBP formation in a WDS.

Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) is the main freshwater body in Israel and is the water source for the National Water Carrier (NWC). The lake water has a uniquely high bromide content 1.9 mg/L which affects DBPs (disinfection by-products) formation. Controlled experiments using different disinfectants were carried out with the lake water in order to study DBPs formation. Formation and distribution of TOX (total organic halogen) trihalomethanes (THM), haloacetic acids (HAA) and cyanogen halides were studied during the application of the following disinfectants: Chlorine, chloramine, chlorine dioxide and a combination of chlorine dioxide with chloramine. Brominated species dominated the distribution of THM, HAA and cyanogen halide. When a high dose of chlorine was applied an unusually high percent (75%) of the TOX formation potential was identified; THM constituted about 50% of the TOX formation potential and haloacetic acids 22-28%. Tribromoacetic acid was found to undergo decomposition to form bromoform. Chlorine dioxide produced insignificant concentrations of organic DBPs and chloramine produced low concentrations. Chlorine dioxide in combination with chloramine enhanced production of CNBr and THM, but their concentrations were much lower than during chlorination.

This study investigates the role of bromide and the structure of precursors in DBPs formation. Resorcinol (1,3-dihydroxylbenzene) and 2,4-pentadiol were used to represent the aromatic and aliphatic precursors. Laboratory prepared hydrophilic organic acids was used to simulate the mixtures of the aqueous natural organic matter. The results showed that about 60% of the bromide was transformed into HOBr and OBr− by chlorine when the chlorine dosages was high (5–20 mg/L of free chlorine). However, only 20% of bromide was transformed into HOBr and OBr− at low chlorine dosage (1 mg/L). Trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP) measurements showed that higher THMs formation was obtained at higher pH for 2,4-pentadiol, mainly due to the presence of the bromo-THMs. For resorcinol, however, no bromo-THMs are formed at either pH 7 or 9. For THMFP from hydrophilic organic acids, no apparent pH effect was observed. It is concluded that the higher THM formation at higher pH was mainly due to the formation of bromo-THMs from the aliphatic precursors. Similar trends are obtained in THMFP measurements for haloacetic acids formation potential (HAAFP).

Spectral analysis of heart rate variability gives an idea of the role of the autonomic nervous system in the regulation of chronotropic heart function. This method can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of drug therapy. Drug therapy should be carried out taking into account the individual clinical form of atrial fibrillation. Information about the vegetative status of the patient will undoubtedly increase the effectiveness of treatment. In this study, spectral parameters were studied in patients with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation. The effect of antiarrhythmic drug class III amiodarone on the spectral parameters of heart rate variability was studied.
