Abstract

This review is on Climate Change Factors and the Formation of Potential Brominated Disinfection Byproducts in Taiwan. Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formation is one of the
drawbacks of disinfecting practices that occur due to the interaction between natural organic matter (NOM) and applied disinfectant. It has been observed that temperature has a clearly defined relationship with DBP formation possibly due to increase in the reaction rate between
chlorine and organic matter content. Increasing global average temperature also resulted in thermal expansion in the oceans and melting of glaciers, leading to rising sea levels and accordingly increased saltwater intrusion into the coastal aquifers, resulted in the formation of
brominated DBPs. In addition, increasing the frequency of storms is one of the driving forces for the increased NOM trend and consequently elevated DBP formation potential. Based on this, climate-induced factors have a critical role in the characteristics of released NOM and correspondingly DBPs formation.
