The source and fate ofN-nitrosamines and their precursors in terms of formation potential (FP) was investigated quantitatively in the city level for the first time. Different sources of nitrosamines and their precursors were investigated in one city in the Yangtze River delta, China. The source water located downstream of the city contained 8.4 ng/L ofN-nitrosodimethyamine (NDMA) and 153 ng/L of NDMA FP. The contribution of each discharge source was evaluated based on the concentration, the river water flux, and the amount of wastewater discharges. Textile printing and dyeing wastewater, and electroplating industrial wastewater contained high concentration of nitrosamines and were important discharge sources. Taking NDMA and NDMA FP attenuation by photolysis and biodegradation into consideration, the mass load calculation showed upstream surface water brought about 13 ± 4% of NDMA and 21 ± 3% of NDMA FP to downstream source water. Local wastewater discharges contributed 30 ± 8% of NDMA and 17 ± 2% of NDMA FP to downstream source water. Endogenous formation via amino acids metabolism could contribute 36% of NDMA FP (maximum) to downstream source water. Overall, this study provides a protocol for quantitative evaluation of the nitrosamine contribution to urban water supply from different contamination sources.
