Disinfection of Drinking Water and Genotoxic Risk
Original language description
The outcomes of measuring the concentration of by-products of ClO2 disinfection of drinking water, which was carried out with the help of gas chromatography with mass detector, are presented in the paper. The situation was monitored in a selected regionof the Czech Republic. The emphasis was laid on the content of trihalogenmethanes which are likely carcinomas and have a potential impact on the health of exposed population. Genotoxic risks were calculated for toddlers up to one year of age, children from one to 18 years, and adults. Ingestion, inhalation and dermal contact were considered as the pathways of exposure. Excess cancer risk was assessed while assuming additive effect of trihalogenmethanes and exposure pathways under consideration. The total excess lifetime cancer risk was expressed either as a sum over the three chosen age groups or as a weighted average considering the time of exposure in each age category.
