Disinfection of wastewater effluents by either chlorination or ozonation destroys many nonvolatile organic constituents and produces other nonvolatile compounds. Disinfection of wastewater effluents by uv-light irradiation has relatively little effect on nonvolatile chromatographic constituents. Methods were developed for preparing effluent concentrates and nonvolatile chromatographic constituents for testing for mutagenic activity. The next phase of this research program will emphasize characterization and identification of compounds having mutagenic activity.
