Abstract
Volatile by-products in the chlorination of 3 humic acids as naturally -occurring substances and 37 nitrogen compounds normally found in excr ement were analyzed, and as result kynurenine, a urinary metabolite of tryptophan was found a suitable model compound for dichloro acetonitr ile-forming precursors. Possible pathways for the formation of chlorin ation by-products from kynurenine were also proposed by identification and kinetic properties of by-products decomposed further from each pr oduct.
