| Abstract | Taste and odor have long been associated with the “safety” of drinking water. Most people today will reject hygienically suitable water simply because it smells or tastes bad. Two primary causes of disagreeable flavors and odors in surface waters are 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin. These musty-smelling compounds are produced by microorganisms and are harmless at naturally occurring concentrations. MIB and geosmin have been linked to taste-and-odor episodes around the world, and are therefore a global concern. Consequently, effective treatment technologies for controlling MIBand geosminrelated tastes and odors have garnered much attention. Numerous studies of treatment techniques for taste-andodor control have established that activated carbon adsorption is an effective treatment method for removing MIB and geosmin from water. |
