description: NDMA (N-nitrosodimethylamine) has been classified as a probable human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It is suspected that chlorination and chloramination may be contributing factors in NDMA formation in drinking water. This study furthers our knowledge of NDMA. It surveys the levels of NDMA in selected drinking water, recycled water, and wastewater. The research describes how NDMA forms in drinking water and the role played by chlorination and chloramination. It also examines the impacts of various water and wastewater treatment processes on NDMA formation. Jointly sponsored by AwwRF and Water Environment Research Foundation.
