Popis: Recently developed analytical techniques allow for the quantification of C 1 -C 10 straight-chain aliphatic aldehydes, benzaldehyde, and the dialdehydes glyoxal and methylglyoxal down to 1 μg/L. These compounds are formed as the partial oxidation products of the reaction between disinfectants (particularly ozone) and naturally occurring organic matter. Various full-scale and pilot treatment plants in North America that employ ozonation were surveyed using these techiques, which showed a trend toward both monoaldehyde and dialdehyde formation. Once formed, aldehydes can persist in the water and their concentrations may even increase following postdisinfection
