Substances that can be oxidized with ozone (some examples)
• AOX (Adsorbable organic halogen compounds)
• NO2 (Nitrite)
• Fe (Iron)
• Mn (Manganese)
• CN (Cyanide)
• Crop protection agents (pesticide)
• EDTA (Ethylenedinitrilotetraacetate; chelating agent)
• NOx (Nitrogen oxides)
• H2S (Hydrogen sulphide, other odorous substances)
• CKW (Chlorinated hydrocarbons)
• PCA (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
• Colorants
• Pharmaceuticals, EDCs  (Endocrine Disrupting Compounds)
