Climate change is contributing to elevated organic matter (OM) concentrations in drinking water supplies. If insufficiently treated, OM can lead to unacceptable concentrations of disinfection by-products, considered to be potential carcinogens, as well as taste and odour problems and bacterial re-growth in the distribution system. Currently available on-line monitoring techniques give limited information regarding the nature of OM; however, fluorescence spectroscopy has shown promise in this regard. Hence, this project aims to provide an on-line monitoring protocol utilising fluorescence to aid utilities in their provision of safe drinking water, thus addressing the National Research Priority goal water – a critical resource.

气候变化正在导致饮用水供应中有机物(OM)浓度的上升。如果处理不当，OM可能导致不可接受的消毒副产物浓度，被认为是潜在的致癌物质，以及味道和气味问题以及分配系统中的细菌重新生长。目前可用的在线监测技术提供的有关OM性质的信息有限；然而，荧光光谱学在这方面显示出了希望。因此，该项目旨在提供一种利用荧光来帮助公用事业公司提供安全饮用水的在线监测方案，从而实现国家研究优先目标--水--一种关键资源。
