Metabolism and pharmacokinetics of alternate drinking water disinfectants.
The chlorination of surface waters is known to elevate trihalomethanes; consequently, chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is being considered as an alternative disinfectant. The primary products resulting from ClO2 disinfection of waters are chlorites (ClO2-) and chlorates (ClO3-). Studies in rats revealed that ClO2 is converted to chloride (Cl-), ClO2- and ClO3-. ClO2- and ClO3- are excreted as Cl-, ClO2-...
متن کاملGenotoxicity of drinking water disinfectants in plant bioassays.
The genotoxicity of two widely used drinking water disinfectants, sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and chlorine dioxide (ClO(2)), and a new disinfectant, peracetic acid (PAA, CH(3)-CO-COOH), was evaluated in three short-term plant tests: (1) induction of anaphase chromosome aberrations in the root cells of Allium cepa, (2) micronucleus induction in the root cells of Vicia faba, and (3) micronucleus ...
متن کاملDisinfectants and Plumbing Materials: Effects on Sensory and Chemical Characteristics of Drinking Water
The distribution system is the primary cause of taste and odor complaints in drinking water. This research examined the ability of small diameter pipes used in home plumbing to affect drinking water quality. The properties of the materials were investigated in the absence of disinfectant and the presence of either chlorine or chloramines. A panel was trained in flavor profile analysis (FPA) acc...
متن کاملEffect of Common Drinking Water Disinfectants, Chlorine and Heat, on Free Legionella and Amoebae-Associated Legionella
Chlorine and thermal treatments are the most commonly used procedures to control and prevent Legionella proliferation in drinking water systems of large buildings. However, cases of legionellosis still occur in facilities with treated water. The purpose of this work was to model the effect of temperature and free chlorine applied in similar exposure conditions as in drinking water systems on fi...
متن کاملIntroduction: evaluating the benefits and potential risks of disinfectants in drinking water treatment.
In vitro cultures of human bone marrow have been used to study normal haemopoiesis and to gain information to aid in the treatment of leukaemia patients. A workshop on the development of semi-solid bone marrow cultures was held for two days in Washington on 15 and 16 August 1976. The participants of this workshop discussed some of the technical problems associated with semi-solid cultures of hu...
