Book excerpt: Chloroacetamide herbicides have been frequently detected in drinking water near areas where these herbicides are applied. These herbicides are known to produce a wide array of degradates in laboratory systems but few of the neutral degradates have ever been sought in natural waters or drinking water. Removal of the parent herbicides during drinking water treatment has been successful with ozonation and activated carbon, however, ozonation can create more degradates as these compounds do not readily undergo mineralization. Bench-scale simulated treatment processes were conducted to further determine which unit processes were effective at removing the parent herbicides and degradates.
