Abstract
Ensuring the health and safety of drinking water is crucial for both nations and their citizens. Since the 20th century, the disinfection of drinking water, effectively controlling pathogens in water sources, has become one of the significant advances in public health. However, the disinfectants used in the process, such as chlorine and chlorine dioxide, react with natural organic matter in the water to produce disinfection by-products (DBPs). Most of these DBPs contain chlorine, and if the source water contains bromine or iodine, brominated or iodinated DBPs, collectively referred to as Halogenated disinfection byproducts (X-DBPs), are formed. Numerous studies have found that X-DBPs pose potential risks to human health and the environment, leading to widespread concern. Mass spectrometry has become an important means of discovering new types of X-DBPs. This paper focuses on the study of methods for analyzing X-DBPs in drinking water using mass spectrometry.
