Drinking water disinfection byproducts: review and approach to toxicity evaluation.
There is widespread potential for human exposure to disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water because everyone drinks, bathes, cooks, and cleans with water. The need for clean and safe water led the U.S. Congress to pass the Safe Drinking Water Act more than 20 years ago in 1974. In 1976, chloroform, a trihalomethane (THM) and a principal DBP, was shown to be carcinogenic in rodents. Thi...
متن کاملHuman health risk analysis from disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking and bathing water of some Indian cities
BACKGROUND Human health risk assessment from exposure to disinfection by-products (DBPs) during drinking and bathing water vary from country to country as per life expectancy, body mass index, water consumption pattern and individual concentration of DBPs component, etc. METHODS Present study considered average direct water intake per person for adult males and females as 4 & 3 L/day, respect...
متن کاملDisinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water and the predictive models for their occurrence: a review
Disinfection for drinking water reduces the risk of pathogenic infection but may pose chemical threat to human health due to disinfection residues and their by-products (DBPs) when the organic and inorganic precursors are present in water. More than 250 DBPs have been identified, but the behavioral profile of only about 20 DBPs are adequately known. In the last two decades, many modelling attem...

متن کاملCharacterization and determination of chloro- and bromo-benzoquinones as new chlorination disinfection byproducts in drinking water.
We report the characterization and determination of 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone and three new disinfection byproducts (DBPs): 2,6-dichloro-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone, 2,3,6-trichloro-1,4-benzoquinone, and 2,6-dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone. These haloquinones are suspected bladder carcinogens and are likely produced during drinking water disinfection treatment. However, detection of these haloquinon...
