Purpose of Review This study aims to examine the role of dissolved organic matter (DOM) as a key precursor to disinfection by-products (DBPs) in aquatic environments. Key objectives include elucidating how DOM sources, chemical properties, and environmental transformations influence DBP speciation a...
