Occurrence, toxicity, and control of halogenated aliphatic and phenolic disinfection byproducts in the chlorinated and chloraminated desalinated water

Seawater desalination is widely used to overcome the freshwater shortage worldwide. However, even after three-stage reverse osmosis treatment, the desalinated water still contained 14.6 μg/L of aliphatic disinfection byproducts (DBPs), 384.2 ng/L of bromophenolic DBPs, 3.5 ng/L of iodophenolic DBPs, 1024.7 μg/L of Br
