The work presents an overview of swimming pool disinfection technologies of selected operations. Selected indoor and outdoor pool operations were to be described, and the use of chlorine and chlorine-free disinfectants was to be determined and the data evaluated. These goals were met in the theoretical part of the thesis, which presents the current methods of treatment and disinfection of swimming pool water and compares their advantages and disadvantages. The comparison includes advantages and disadvantages, use and costs of disinfection methods, individual water quality indicators, and their importance and measurements. The work also focuses on microbiological and chemical health risks from swimming pool water. The practical part described the technologies of swimming pool water treatment in six selected swimming pool operations, focusing on the use of chlorine and chlorine-free disinfectants and their operation. Another 27 operators in the Czech Republic (combined, indoor and outdoor) were contacted in writing for the survey. A total of 27 indoor and 23 outdoor operations were compared in the survey.

Water treatment and disinfection in outdoor conditions
Hrušková, Barbora ; Načeradská, Jana (advisor) ; Petříček, Radim (referee)
Travel to countries with inadequate sanitation facilities or to the wild involves the risk of contracting pathogenic organisms. There are several options for providing hygienic drinking water in field conditions. The main objective of this paper is to present these options to the reader, to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of different types of water treatment and disinfection in the field, and to assess the health risk of consuming water treated in field conditions. For while there are a large number of studies on water treatment in water treatment plants, there are few studies on water treatment under field conditions, and in particular the generation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) during field water disinfection. One method to treat water in the field is the use of filtration. Filters can remove suspended solids and bacteria from water due to membranes with pore sizes of about 0.2 μm. The advantage of filters is that they do not encourage the formation of DBPs. On the other hand, 0.2 μm pore sizes may not stop all pathogens. Disinfection with UV light has been shown to be effective, but in turbid water the effectiveness decreases. It is recommended to stir the water with a UV lamp to improve the disinfection results. UV does not produce DBPs, which is an undeniable advantage of this...

Brominated and iodinated disinfection by-products
Bednář, Jiří ; Načeradská, Jana (advisor) ; Kopecká, Ivana (referee)
The reaction of a disinfectant with natural organic matter in the presence of bromides and iodides in raw water intended as a source of drinking water produces brominated (Br-DBPs) and iodinated disinfection by-products (I-DBPs) of water. These tend to be more cytotoxic and genotoxic than their chlorinated analogues. However, little information is available on these products compared to chlorinated ones. Therefore, the aim of this work was to provide an overview of natural and anthropogenic sources of bromine and iodine containing substances, to determine their influence on the formation of brominated and iodinated disinfection by-products, and to compare their cytotoxicity and genotoxicity with chlorinated products. Increasing seawater intrusion into the groundwater drinking water source was found to increase the concentrations of Br-DBPs and I-DBPs by up to thousands of percent. A number of substances can be released from water pipe material depending on the material. These include, for example, tenorite and copper cation released from copper piping, iron cation released from cast iron and steel piping, and bromides and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) released from plastic piping. All of these corrosion products contribute to increasing concentrations of DBPs in the distribution network. Both seawater and...

Combination of different drinking water disinfection processes and their impact on the formation of disinfection by-products
Česká, Pavlína ; Načeradská, Jana (advisor) ; Fialová, Kateřina (referee)
Combining disinfection processes with chlorination can alter the formation and resulting spectrum of Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) in drinking water. While considerable attention has been given to DBPs formed during chlorination, DBPs formed during the application of multiple disinfection processes are a significantly less explored group. This study focuses on three most common disinfection combinations: chlorination-UV, UV-secondary chlorination, and ozonation-secondary chlorination. After chlorination, trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are the most commonly found DBPs in water. The resulting formation of DBPs is influenced by many factors. UV radiation at typical disinfection doses (40-186 mJ.cm-2 ) does not affect the formation of these two groups of compounds after treatment with UV radiation and secondary chlorination. During the advanced oxidation process (AOP) of chlorination-UV, generally more DBPs are formed than during chlorination alone. However, this can be partially minimized by adjusting the appropriate wavelength and pH of the treated water. For waters containing nitrogenous compounds or bromide, combining chlorination with UV radiation and chlorination with ozonation leads to higher formation of hazardous nitrogenous and brominated DBPs compared to chlorination...

Disinfection by-products in swimming pools and their effect on human health
Winterová, Sofie ; Načeradská, Jana (advisor) ; Barešová, Magdalena (referee)
Disinfection of swimming pool water is necessary for reducing the risk of disease transmission. Disinfection by-products form when chlorine reacts with organic matter contained in water. More than six hundred disinfection by-products have been found in swimming pools. Trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, chloramines, halonitromethanes, haloacetonitriles and nitrosamines are among the most frequently occurring. Disinfection by-products may be toxic. The volatility of some of them causes their occurrence in the surrounding air and poses a risk not only for swimmers, but also for people in the vicinity who are not in direct contact with the water. DBPs enter human body by inhalation, absorption through the skin and ingestion. They have been linked to health problems such as skin and eye irritation, bladder cancer and respiratory diseases. Preventing their occurrence is not an easy task; a number of factors play a role in their genesis (the amount of organic matter, type and the amount of disinfection, the quality of source water, temperature, pH) and not all principles of their formation have been fully clarified yet. Further research on DBPs and their sufficient regulation are important steps to maintain chemical safety in swimming pools. Key words: disinfection by-products, swimming pool,...

Haloacetic acids in drinking water
Poslušná, Markéta ; Načeradská, Jana (advisor) ; Barešová, Magdalena (referee)
Chlorination byproduct occur during water disinfection. These by-product are formed by the reactions between disinfectants and natural organic matter. High concentration od natural organic matter require higher doses of oxidizing agent, which increases the formation of chlorination byproduct. Chlorination byproduct pose health risk so they must be eliminated. This work researches focuses on the occurence of chlorination byproduct in several countries and evaluates the suitability of limits concentrations. The literary research has shown that there are currently not many studies about monitoring the occurence of chlorination byproduct. If these studies exist, they are often old and therefore i tis not possible to rationally assess the quality of drinking water in term of the occurrence of chlorination byproduct. Trichloracetic acid, dichloracetit acid and dibromacetic acid are mainly important from the health point of view. The are identifield as possible carcinogens. Higher concentrations of dichloracetic acid and trichloracetic acid were observed in most studies. The result of the studies show that the highest concentration of haloacetic acid were recorded in the cities of Cherepovets (Rusia), Athens (Greece), Warsaw (Poland) and Findland. Concentrations of haloacetic acid did not exceed the limit...
