BackgroundThe concentrations of disinfection by-products (DBPs) are varied by different water sources, disinfectants, or treatment processes in Wuxi, and the associated health risks are also different. ObjectiveTo understand the levels of trihalomethanes

Emission of volatile halogenated organic compounds over various Dead Sea landscapes [PDF]
Volatile halogenated organic compounds (VHOCs), such as methyl halides (CH3X; X is Br, Cl and I) and very short-lived halogenated substances (VSLSs; bromoform-CHBr3, dibromomethane-CH2Br2, bromodichloromethane-CHBrCl2, trichloroethylene-C2HCl3 ...

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

Sensitivity Analysis of a Proposed Model for Removal Efficiency of Trihalomethanes (THMs) Using Spray Aeration [PDF]
Trihalomethanes (THMs) form in drinking water treatment systems as a byproduct of chlorination and are problematic from a public health perspective due to their carcinogenic potential and their potential for additional formation throughout distribution ...

ABSTRACT Background Generally, studies in perinatal epidemiology restrict cohort entry to 20 weeks of gestation, but exposures and outcomes may occur earlier. This restriction may introduce left truncation bias. Objectives To examine the impact of left truncation bias when estimating the causal effect of abruption on perinatal mortality in the context ...

Removal of Trihalomethanes from Water using Modified Montmorillonite
Trihalomethanes (THMs) are formed during the water chlorination process through the reaction between chlorine and the organic materials. In this research, montmorillonite (MMT) and its modified form were used to remove the THMs from the water.

Drinking Water Quality Regulations: A Contrast Between Germany and Latin America
ABSTRACT This article investigates the differences among drinking water quality standards adopted in Latin American countries, Mexico, Cuba, and the European Union, considering the growing challenge of ensuring safe drinking water in a context marked by environmental pressures, climate change, and the occurrence of emerging contaminants. The study aims

Drinking water treatment plants (DWTP) use chlorination as an oxidation stage in the first step of the processes used to eliminate the natural organic matter (NOM) responsible for the formation of 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) and Geosmin (GM), which ...

Very short-lived bromomethanes measured by the CARIBIC observatory over the North Atlantic, Africa and Southeast Asia during 2009-2013 [PDF]
Short-lived organic brominated compounds make up a significant part of the organic bromine budget in the atmosphere. Emissions of these compounds are highly variable and there are limited measurements, particularly in the extra-tropical upper troposphere/
