Ozone is a highly efficient disinfectant which may have significant advantages in water treatment compared to chlorine. It has, however, been shown that mutagenic and possibly carcinogenic byproducts may be produced under certain conditions of ozonation. Light chlorination following ozonization may meet the highest standards of disinfection. In addition the destruction of much of the organic matter by prior ozone treatment may well result in less harmful chlorinated and brominated products in the finished water. In many cases ozone treatment alone may suffice. It would be desirable to test with long term in vivo experiments which of the alternatives produces the best combination of microbiologically clean and pleasant water with minimum mutagenic and carcinogenic effect.
臭氧是一种高效消毒剂，与氯相比，在水处理方面可能具有显著优势。然而，已有研究表明，在特定的臭氧化条件下可能会产生诱变及潜在致癌的副产物。臭氧化后进行轻度氯化处理可达到最高消毒标准。此外，预先进行臭氧处理破坏了大部分有机物，很可能会使成品水中产生危害较小的氯化和溴化产物。在许多情况下，仅进行臭氧处理可能就足够了。进行长期的体内实验来测试哪种替代方案能产生微生物纯净且口感良好的水，同时将诱变和致癌作用降至最低，这将是很有必要的。
