H2OforAll: Innovative Integrated Tools and Technologies to Protect and Treat Drinking Water from Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs)

水净化和消毒是为公民提供安全用水的关键过程，但由于土壤/淡水污染加剧而导致水源质量低下，使得这一目标非常具有挑战性。含氯消毒剂与水中有机物发生反应时产生的消毒副产物（DBP）即使在低浓度下也会对环境和人类健康产生严重影响，但目前尚不清楚。对人类肝脏活性和神经毒性的影响已有报道。 H2OforAll 项目旨在通过开发快速、经济高效且准确的传感器监测设备，并通过对其在饮用水分配系统中的传播进行建模，来评估主要 DBP 的来源和归宿。此外，本项目还将研究DBPs的毒性和环境影响，并提出保护饮用水链的措施。另一方面，将开发突破性的水处理方法，以去除 DBP 或避免它们在水消毒过程中形成，同时关注其生命周期分析、成本和风险。将创建一个中央知识库，其中包含有关欧洲 DBP 发生及其影响的可靠数据，以提高社会和政府组织对这些饮用水污染物的认识，从而制定新的政策应对措施和指导

Water purification and disinfection are crucial processes to provide safe water to citizens, but the low quality of water sources due to soil/freshwater increasing contamination makes this goal very challenging. Disinfection byproducts (DBPs), produced when chlorine disinfectant reacts with organic matter in water, have a serious impact even at low concentrations on the environment and human health, still not well understood. Effects on human’sliver activity and neurotoxicity were already reported. H2OforAll project aimsto assess main DBPssources and fate through the development of fast, cost-effective and accurate sensor monitoring devices and also by modelling their spread through drinking water distribution systems. In addition, DBPs toxicity and environmental impact will be studied in this project and measures will be proposed to protect drinking water chain. On the other hand, breakthrough water treatments to remove DBPs or avoid their formation during water disinfection processes will be developed, paying attention to their life cycle analysis, costs and risks. A central knowledge base with reliable data on the occurrence of DBPs in Europe and their effects will be created to increase awareness of society and governmental organizations about these drinking water contaminants in order to draw new policy responses and guidance
