[Occurrence and Removal of -nitrosamines in the Wastewater Treatment Plants Using Different Treatment Processes].

This study measured the concentrations of six -nitrosamines (NAs) in water samples from each process stage of three wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and their corresponding receiving rivers. The occurrence and removal of NAs was then systematically studied in three WWTPs using different treatment processes, and their pollution profiles and sources in the receiving rivers were analyzed. The results showed that the six NAs occurred widely in the wastewater from every process stage of three WWTPs.
