title: [Sanitary assessment of currently available methods of drinking water disinfection (review)].
abstract: Chemical and physical methods of drinking water disinfection do not meet the present day sanitary requirement in a number of essential indices. The disadvantages of routine methods make investigators search for new procedures generally based on the combined influence of two or several factors. Preliminary assessment of the existing procedures and those under development to disinfect drinking water indicates that physicochemical methods relating to a group of photo-oxidative and electrochemical methods, low-energy and pulse discharges in particular, will hold the greatest promise in future.
