Removal Of Pesticide Metabolites, From Drinking Water By UV Oxidation

Groundwater contamination by pesticides and pesticide metabolites constitutes a substantial problem for groundwater based water supplies. Here we discuss and evaluate a pilot scale investigation of a relevant treatment technology -- Advanced Oxidation Processes with UV. The UV process was robust with the four investigated water types and was able to reduce the DMS concentration more than 80%. Further analysis and non-target analysis showed that an after-polishing -- e.g. BAC (Bacteriological Activated Carbon) treatment is needed.
