The formation of malodorous dimethyl oligosulphides in treated groundwater: the role of biofilms and potential precursors.

The formation of malodorous dimethyl oligosulphides in treated groundwater: the role of biofilms and potential precursors.

Water distributed from the Wanneroo Groundwater Treatment Plant intermittently containsdimethyl trisulphide (DMTS). The compound is responsible for a "swampy odour" in the water. DMTS production from potential precursors was insignificant in the absence of biofilms when compared with DMTS...
