Occurrence and Ecological Risk Assessment of Highly Toxic Halogenated Byproducts during Chlorination Decolorization of Textile Printing and Dyeing Wastewater

Textile printing and dyeing wastewater is a substantial source of highly toxic halogenated pollutants because of the chlorination decolorization. However, information on the occurrence and fate of the highly toxic halogenated byproducts, which are produced by chlorination decolorization of the textile printing and dyeing wastewater, is very limited. In this study, the occurrence of six categories of halogenated byproducts (haloacetic acids (HAAs), haloacetonitriles (HANs),
