Characterization of dissolved organic matter derived from atmospheric dry deposition and its DBP formation.

Disinfection by-products (DBPs) precursors can be regarded mainly from the drinking water sources and the water treatment processes. A recent study showed that dissolved organic matter (DOM) in atmosphere is an important precursor source of DBPs through atmospheric wet deposition. However, little information is available on the characteristics of DOM derived from dry deposition particulate matter (PM) and the impact of dry deposition on CX3R-type DBP formation. This study determined whether dry deposition directly contributed the production of DBPs during chlor (am)ination and investigated the mechanism behind the contribution based on the combination of the resin and membrane for fractionating DOM fractions. The results showed that the hydrophilic fraction (HPI) contributed the most DOM and low molecular weight DOM (<10 kDa) was the main component of HPI. In addition, aromatic proteins and soluble microbial products-like compounds were the dominant fluorescent species in DOM derived from PM, and <10 kDa transphilic was the most abundant. The concentrations of C-DBPs and N-DBPs in disinfected PM solution were trihalomethanes (THMs) > haloacetic acids (HAAs) > haloaldehydes and haloacetamides > haloacetonitriles > halonitromethanes for both chlorination and chloramination. The main contributors of calculated toxicity are transphilic and hydrophobic in chlorination and chloramination respectively. Dry deposition PM was deduced to contribute DOM and DBP formation after chlorination in surface water, especially THMs and HAAs. These results presented herein provide key information for controlling DBPs from the perspectives of atmospheric dry deposition, especially in the case of heavy air pollution.
