We revealed the water quality improvement in sanitary and chemical indicators and decrease by three
orders of the carcinogenic risk for the child population when the surface water source is replaced with
underground water due to assessment of the dynamics of drinking water quality in oil-and-gas production
areas. Accounting for age-related correction factors increased the car-cinogenic risk for children in the
oil and gas production area using a surface drinking water source to an unacceptable level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
