Trihalomethanes (THMs) are a major class of disinfection by-products found in chlorinated drinking water. They are an unfortunate side effect of the chlorination process. Due to possible adverse health effects,

Table 1. Comparison of regulatory, financial, infrastructure, and waste-stream characteristics of private–tapwater, public–tapwater, and bottled–water drinking-water distribution pipelines in the United States.a. Altenburger et al., 2015,Bradley et al., 2017Olson et al., 1999Rosenblum et al.,...
In the present study, a wide range of DBPs were analyzed in drinking water (tap and bottled). Unfiltered tap water is the primary source of human exposure to these chemicals. The patterns of occurrence indicate that although both brominated and chlorinated DBPs were present, brominated species we...
Metallic/bimetallic catalyst nanoparticles such as nano zerovalent iron (nZVI) and noble metals supported on nZVI have been incorporated into polymeric membranes for reductive degradation of contaminants, particularly chlorinated compounds [86,87]. nZVI serves as the electron donor and the noble metals ...
1995 [42] found that the risk of GI symptoms was significantly increased for people drinking chlorinated water derived from a cyanobacteria-impacted river, and the risks of GI and dermal symptoms were increased for people using untreated water from the same river for bathing and dishwashing. ...
(HFPO-DA or GenX), and 6:2 chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonic acid (6:2 Cl-PFAES or commercially known as F-53B), which have garnered great interest13,14,15,16. Moreover, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified PFOA as “possibly carcinogenic to ...

In a birth cohort with a wide range of exposures to primarily PFOS and PFHxS from contaminated drinking water, we found that the transplacental transfer efficiencies (TTE) of eight PFAS and three PFOS isomers were of considerable magnitude. The highest TTE were observed for PFOA and PFHxS, and...
In the Netherlands, where non-chlorinated drinking water is distributed, the prevention of bacterial regrowth in the distribution network is an extra topic of concern. Research strongly indicates that the presence of fewer particles and fewer nutrients in drinking water reduces the risk of ...
