- Title
Pages From the Past: Algae as Sources of Trihalomethane Precursors.
- Abstract
This article, published in 1980, explores the connection between algae and the formation of trihalomethanes (THMs) in water supplies. The study conducted in northern Virginia found that THM concentrations varied seasonally and correlated with chlorophyll-a concentrations in the reservoir. Laboratory experiments confirmed that algal biomass and algal extracellular products can act as precursors for THMs. The article emphasizes the importance of understanding the role of algae in water quality and suggests that further research is needed to fully comprehend the relationship between algae and THMs.
