Occurrence and Levels of Acetonitriles as Emerging Disinfection By-products in a Community Drinking Water Supply

~ 7550a76e7bbff7016b934ed1999cf1b3.200x200
Drinking water from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria water treatment plant was sampled and analysed for haloacetontriles (HANs) disinfection by products (DBPs) between 2008 and 2010. This was to determine the degree of wholesomeness of the drinking water supplied to the university community. On analyses, samples were found to positively contain dichloroacetonitriles, dibromoacetonitrile, and...
