RICHARDSON, S. D. EMERGING DRINKING WATER DISINFECTION BY-PRODUCTS AND HEALTH ISSUES. Presented at Invited Seminar at the University of Illinois, Urbana, IL, April 12 - 16, 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 disinfection by-products and potential health effects; results from the Four Lab Study; and toxicity-based identification work (addressing >50% TOX in high molecular weight fraction).
