Occurrence and toxicity of disinfection byproducts in european drinking waters in relation with the HIWATE epidemiology study

This was the first study integrating quantitative in vitro toxicological data with analytical chemistry and human epidemiologic outcomes to further understand the impact of disinfection by-products (DBPs) on human health. Cell cytotoxicity results confirmed that the current UK strategy of minimising all DBPs is appropriate. The paper was an outcome of a collaboration between Cranfield University, HIWATE project partners (www.hiwate.org, funded under EU contract no. Food-CT-2006-036224), the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA, Portland State University, USA and CanSyn Chem. Corp., Canada.
