N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a disinfection byproduct formed from reactions between dichloramine and nitrogenous precursors. At water reuse facilities with reverse osmosis (RO) and ultraviolet-advanced oxidation processes (UV-AOP), NDMA is typically reduced to less than 2 ng/L. However, in some cases, NDMA “rebounds” to low ng/L concentrations during conveyance. The precursors evading RO and UV-AOP are currently unknown. Dimethylamine (DMA) does not substantially contribute to the NDMA precursor pool in treated wastewater or surface water, but DMA occurrence in reuse facilities has not been evaluated. We measured DMA and its chlorinated analogue (CDMA) in four full-scale water reclamation facilities utilizing RO and UV-AOP and one at pilot scale. The median sum of DMA and CDMA in the UV-AOP product and finished waters was 0.4 μg/L across six sampling events. At one reclamation facility sampled three times over one year, finished water DMA/CDMA ranged from 0.4 to 1.4 μg/L. DMA/CDMA accounted for 5%–43% of the total NDMA precursor pool of the UV-AOP product water at one facility and up to approximately 40 ng/L of NDMA formation. These findings enable treatment strategies which will result in reduced NDMA formation, thereby strengthening the future of potable reuse.
