Abstract
The problem of the appearance of odors in drinking water associated with the development of algae and cyanobacteria in reservoirs of drinking water sources is considered. The results of the analysis of information on the main types of organisms that are sources of odorants in drinking water, chemicals produced by them and a description of odors are presented. Most often, the causes of odors in drinking water are the massive development of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae and Oscillatoria agardhii , which are producers of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol. The classification of hazard levels for water pollution by cyanobacteria and recommended measures, including the frequency of monitoring and sampling, are given. The measures implemented with a decrease in the number of cyanobacteria in reservoirs of drinking water supply sources by physical, chemical and biological methods are presented. Methods of removal of intracellular and extracellular cyanotoxins from drinking water are described. The analysis of the efficiency of removal of various substances with odorizing effect from drinking water is presented.
