Impact/Purpose:
This research is important to determine what chemical DBPs people are actually exposed to through their drinking water or may be exposed to due to a shift to alternative disinfection technologies, and to understand how they are formed so that they can potentially be minimized.
Description:
The haloacetamides, a class of emerging nitrogenous drinking water disinfection by-products (DBPs), were analyzed for their chronic cytotoxicity and for the induction of genomic DNA damage in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
