Growing concerns over public health and environmental safety have intensified the focus on minimizing harmful disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in water treatment. Traditional methods like chlorination, while effective against pathogens, often lead to formation of DBPs, which pose significant risks. This paper explores alternative strategies reducing DBP ensuring disinfection. The methodology involved a bibliographic study conducted through Scopus platform, using appropriate keywords. initial search yielded 9576 articles from period 2020 2024. key approaches identified include advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as UV/H2O2 ozone, mineralize natural organic matter (NOM) minimize chemical use sludge production; membrane-based filtration systems, reverse osmosis, effectively removing contaminants without disinfectants, Furthermore, conventional processes, coagulation filtration, serve crucial pretreatment steps lower NOM levels before Additionally, optimizing chlorine dosing, non-chlorine employing post-disinfection adsorption biological further mitigate formation. Finally, integration artificial intelligence process optimization is emerging promising tool for enhancing treatment efficiency safety. research contributes development safer, more sustainable solutions, addressing regulatory demands objectives.
