Potential cancer risk estimates from trihalomethanes in peri-urban settings of Kawama East of Mufulira, Zambia

open access: yesJournal of Water and Health, 2022
In this study, we report the formation and cancer risk estimation of trihalomethanes (THMs) emanating from ‘ex-situ’ chlorination of shallow hand-dug well water obtained from a peri-urban area of Mufulira District, Zambia.

Identification of Sources of Dissolved Organic Matter Using Multi‐Isotope Approach

open access: yesCLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 7, July 2026.
• A precise and multi‐isotope method was developed using solid phase extraction (SPE) and Element Analyzer – Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (EA‐IRMS) to characterize the dissolved organic matter (DOM). • The DOM extraction and elution methods were standardized for natural waters containing as low as 0.5 mg DOM. • The extraction efficiencies range from

Effectiveness of biosurfactant for the removal of trihalomethanes by biotrickling filter

open access: yesEngineering Reports, 2019
In this study, the biodegradation of a mixture of two trihalomethane (THM) compounds, chloroform (CF) and dichlorobromomethane (DCBM), was evaluated using two laboratory‐scale biotrickling filters (BTFs).

Bromoform exposure is associated with non-melanoma skin cancer: evidence from NHANES 2011–2020

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2023
BackgroundNon-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is a prevalent skin malignancy. It has been indicated in many studies that trihalomethanes (THMs) exposure has a strong association with tumors but has not been associated with NMSC.

Trends in nitrate levels in Iowa's community water systems (2000–2022): Characteristics of systems vulnerable to maximum contaminant level exceedances and future regulatory scenarios

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract This study examines trends in nitrate contamination in Iowa's community water systems (CWS) from 2000 to 2022, focusing on the characteristics of CWS that are most vulnerable to elevated nitrate levels and those likely to be impacted by a lower maximum contaminant level (MCL).

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 792-810, May 2026.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

Development of a simple analytical method for determining trihalomethanes in beer using a headspace solid-phase microextraction technique

open access: yesQuímica Nova, 2013
We developed a simple, rapid, and solventless method for analyzing trihalomethanes in beer samples using headspace solid-phase microextraction. The effects of varying experimental parameters, such as extraction temperature and time, addition of sodium ...
