In the two pilot-scale drinking water plant studies presented here, source waters were treated with a variety of disinfection schemes, incorporating ozone, monochloramine, chlorine dioxide and chlorine. Concentrations of the organic compounds present in the water samples were prepared by XAD resin adsorption/ethyl acetate elution. The concentrates were then tested for mutagenicity in the Ames Salmonella assay in order to compare the relative mutagenic potencies of the water samples following the different methods of disinfection.
