- Abstract
Key Takeaways: Power plant wastewaters contain bromide, and their discharge to the environment can increase bromide concentrations in surface waters used for potable water supply, increasing brominated disinfection byproducts in finished water. Drinking water utilities should assess upstream bromide sources to determine their contribution to bromide and brominated disinfection byproducts at drinking water intakes. Analysis of bromide sources and receiving water conditions helps in developing control strategies for bromide discharges that affect drinking water supplies.
