Assessing the Genotoxic Effects of Emerging Organic Contaminants in Water Systems: Current Trends and Future Directions

Scientifica, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) represent a growing concern for global water security due to their persistence, bioactivity, and potential to induce genotoxic effects in aquatic organisms and humans. This review critically examines the current state of genotoxicity assessment for EOCs by integrating established testing frameworks with advanced ...

Combined UV LED and Chlorine for Synergistic Drinking Water Disinfection and Assessment of Disinfection By‐Product Formation

AWWA Water Science, Volume 7, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of 280 nm UV LEDs in enhancing chlorine disinfection in natural water sources. The results of this work indicate sequential treatments (UV‐chlorine and chlorine‐UV) further enhanced the disinfection efficiency of T1 in natural waters, especially at higher UV doses, such as 40 ...

Moisture and Species Effect on Water Colour Generation in an Australian Temperate Forested Catchment

Ecohydrology, Volume 18, Issue 6, September 2025.
ABSTRACT South‐eastern Australian forested catchments supply most of Melbourne's drinking water, and discoloured water poses significant challenges for authorities because of the need for complex and costly treatment procedures. Identifying the sources and mechanisms of colour production is therefore critical.

Guidance on the use of read‐across for chemical safety assessment in food and feed

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Read‐across is a method used in chemical risk assessment to predict the toxicological properties of a target substance by using data from structurally and mechanistically similar substances, known as source substances. EFSA's Scientific Committee has developed an approach for using read‐across in food and feed risk assessment.
