“…In the same way, the reaction between IOM and chlorine occurred in the following sequence: tryptophan-like fluorescence fraction → fulvic-like fluorescence fraction → humic-like fluorescence fraction (Table S4), which was opposite to the reaction sequence between EOM and chlorine. Prior researches also reported that fulvic-like and humic-like compounds would react with chlorine to generate carbonaceous DBPs such as TCM, dichloroacetic acid, etc. , Nevertheless, protein-like compounds, including tryptophan-like compounds, were more likely to produce nitrogenous DBPs (i.g., DCAN, dichloroacetamide, etc.) during chlorination. , Therefore, the yields of TCM in EOM were higher than that in IOM, whereas IOM generated a large amount of DCAN (Figure ).…”
