DBPs in Domestic Hot Water Systems
Assessment of Regulated and Unregulated Disinfection Byproducts in Water Heaters
UMass Research Team: Dave Reckhow, Boning Liu
The objective of this group of projects is to determine the effect of elevated temperature on the concentations of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) and assess occurrence of DBPs in domestic hot water.
This project is funded by a variety of sources.
