Fate of N-Nitrosodimethylamine in recycled water after recharge into anaerobic aquifer

► NDMA was highly mobile in the Leederville aquifer. ► Aerobic half-life biodegradation of NDMA was 8 ± 2 days. ► Anaerobic half-life biodegradation of NDMA was 25-260 days. ► Anaerobic half-life NDMA inhibition was observed at higher NDMA concentrations. ► Results from a MAR field trial were consistent with laboratory results.
