Abstract

Disinfectant by-products other than trihalomethane have been newly included in the WHO guidelines for drinking water. Many of these by-products are produced and used on an industrial scale.
This paper reviews these by-products in respect of their physicochemical properties, industrial output and major uses, analytical methods, and environmental levels and fates.
