Thousands of organic micropollutants and their transformation products occur in water. Although often present at low concentrations, individual compounds contribute to mixture effects. Cell-based bioassays that target health-relevant biological endpoints may therefore complement chemical analysis for water quality assessment. The objective this study was evaluate cell-based suitability benchmark assess efficacy treatment processes. selected cover relevant steps the toxicity pathways...
The process of disinfecting drinking water inadvertently leads to the formation numerous disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Some these are mutagenic, genotoxic, teratogenic, and cytotoxic, as well potentially carcinogenic both in vivo vitro. We investigated vitro biological activity five DBPs: three monohaloacetic acids (monoHAAs) [chloroacetic acid (CAA), bromoacetic (BAA), iodoacetic (IAA)] two novel halobenzoquinones (HBQs) [2,6-dichloro-p-benzoquinone (DCBQ) 2,6-dibromo-p-benzoquinone]....
Drinking water disinfection inadvertently leads to the formation of numerous by-products (DBPs), some which are cytotoxic, mutagenic, genotoxic, teratogenic, and potential carcinogens both in vitro vivo.We investigated alterations global gene expression (GE) nontransformed human small intestine epithelial cells (FHs 74 Int) after exposure six brominated two chlorinated DBPs: bromoacetic acid (BAA), bromoacetonitrile (BAN), 2,6-dibromo-p-benzoquinone (DBBQ), bromoacetamide (BAM),...
