Our research group has focus on the development of a new approach to characterize the reactivities of NOM associated with relevant contaminants based on the progress in principle of its quantum optical effect. Due to the high sensitivity, low cost and richness of information that spectroscopy offered, new approaches can explore the behavior and reactivity of NOM in-situ at environmentally-relevant conditions. We have applied them successfully to characterize the behavior of NOM in water treatment and major river system, to assess health risks associated with the engagement of NOM into relevant reactions, for instance DBP formation, and to develop new technologies and materials to remove NOM and to control its behavior.
