EMERGING CONTAMINANTS IN WATER AND CURRENT HEALTH ISSUES
Citation:
RICHARDSON, S. D. EMERGING CONTAMINANTS IN WATER AND CURRENT HEALTH ISSUES. Presented at Seminar at the German Institute of Hydrology, Koblenz, GERMANY, June 08, 2006.
Impact/Purpose:
(1) Use a toxicity-based approach to prioritize and identify DBPs that show the greatest toxic response. (2) Comprehensively identify DBPs formed by different disinfectant regimes for the 'Four Lab Study'. (3) Determine the mechanisms of formation for potentially hazardous bromonitromethane DBPs.
Description:
This presentation presents emerging contaminants in water and potential health effects. Contaminants talked about include the following: DBPs; PFOA; pharmaceuticals; pesticide degradation products; perchlorate; algal toxins; organotins; pathogens; naphthenic acids; and benzotriazoles.
