The simultaneous application of ozone and ultraviolet radiation is appreciably more effective than ozone alone for the destruction of THM precursors in water from two southern U.S. surface-water sources. A mechanism is suggested that involves the destruction of a precursor initially present and the parallel formation and subsequent destruction of a secondary precursor from the natural organic matrix. From each source water the secondary precursor is apparently resistant to oxidation with ozone alone but is more readily destroyed by O/sub 3//UV treatment.
