  • When was bromine first used in water treatment?
  • Water treatment with bromine was first suggested in 1935 ( Carpenter and Nalepa, 2005 ). Bromine chloride was promoted as a biocide to be used in both industrial water and wastewater systems from the early 1970s, and activated sodium bromide was introduced at that time as well.
  • Do bromides affect the quality of treated water and organobromines?
  • Two issues are addressed in the paper: the influence of bromides on the quality of treated waters and organobromines as contaminants of natural waters. Bromide presence in treated water gives rise to formation of potentially mutagenic disinfection by-products (DBPs).
  • Is bromide a mutagenic disinfection by-product?
  • Bromide presence in treated water gives rise to formation of potentially mutagenic disinfection by-products (DBPs). Registered amounts of DBPs in potable waters, exceeding the admissible levels, and the published data on DBPs in waters used for leisure and recreation activities, clearly indicate the health risk.
  • Could organic waste clean up Buenos Aires' water?
  • Elia Gran, GPJ, translated this article from Spanish. The Matanza-Riachuelo river basin is a source of water for millions of Argentines, but it’s also among the most polluted in the world. Scientists in Buenos Aires are hoping to clean up the water by harnessing an unlikely source – organic waste.
