abstract = "Wastewater treatment plants commonly disinfect with
chloramines, but recent research has shown that chloramines can
form the disinfection byproduct N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).
Previous plant-scale tests with fully nitrified effluents
demonstrated that adding free chlorine before chloramines
(sequential chlorination) reduced NDMA concentrations and
consistently complied with total coliform standards. However,
California regulations for recycled water require that
alternatives to chloramination at 450 mg Cl2-min/L demonstrate
5-log inactivation of poliovirus or F-specific b
