Ozon kan användas för att reducera koncentrationen av organiska mikroföroreningar i avloppsvatten och därmed förhindra att dessa sprids i hav, sjöar och vattendrag, där deras närvaro kan medföra en rad negativa konsekvenser. Vid tillsats av ozon till avloppsvatten oxideras de organiska mikroföroreningarna, tillsammans med andra ämnen i vattenmatrisen, och bildar olika transformations- och biprodukOzonation can be applied to reduce the concentration of organic micropollutants in municipal wastewater, and thereby mitigate any adverse effects these compounds may have in natural waters. As ozone is applied to wastewater, organic micropollutants, as well as other compounds present in the water matrix, will be oxidized, resulting in the formation of transformation- and byproducts. Some of these
