This study investigated the applicability of fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy (EEMS) to assess total trihalomethane formation potentials (TTHMFPs) and the ability of magnetic ion exchange (MIEX ® ) resin to reduce TTHMFP. We treated a surface water and secondary wastewater effluent with MIEX mimicking full-scale operation by repeatedly exposing the same resin batch to additional feed water, with batches ranging from 500 to 5,000 resin bed volumes. Results showed that MIEX was more effective at removing or reducing ultraviolet absorbance (UVA 254 ), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and TTHMFP in surface water than in secondary effluent. The greater UVA 254 , DOC and TTHMFP removal for surface waters was explained by the stronger affinity of MIEX for terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM) compared to microbial DOM. Fluorescence EEMS results showed that the ratio between terrestrial and microbial fluorescent signals of DOM was significantly greater in surface water than in secondary effluent. Fluorescence surrogate parameters were strongly correlated with TTHMFP, namely, fluorescence intensity of humic-like peak C (R 2 = 0.98, p &lt; 0.01), protein-like peak T (R 2 = 0.96, p &lt; 0.01), and fulvic-like peak A (R 2 = 0.87, p &lt; 0.01). Correlations between fluorescence surrogate parameters and TTHMFP were substantially stronger than correlations between DOC and TTHMFP. Overall, the results indicate that fluorescent parameters extracted from EEMS data can be used as quick surrogate parameters to monitor TTHMFP for a diverse group of raw and MIEX-treated waters.
