“…However, the use of chemical disinfectants in water treatment usually results in the formation of by-products that can be toxic and/or mutagenic. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Although drinking water has certainly a greater potential to impact human health, wastewater contamination may also pose health risks. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of peracetic acid on lipid peroxidation and hepatic enzymes in Wistar rats.…”

“…Llopis‐González et al found possible association between bladder cancer in women and exposure to THMs at levels below the European Community legal limit. Besides, being suspected carcinogens exposure to THMs is also linked to miscarriage in women. A study in California conducted by the State Health Department found out that women exposed to high levels of DBPs had a 17.5% risk of miscarriage, whereas women who had little exposure to THMs had a lower level risk of 9.5% .…”

Despite the many disadvantages associated with the use of chlorine for disinfecting drinking water, chlorination is still the main method used for this purpose worldwide. Low chlorine concentrations in water distribution systems increase health risks whereas high chlorine concentrations are associated with the formation of disinfection by-products such as trihalomethanes which are suspected carcinogens. Due to their negative health impacts, trihalomethanes occurrence in finished drinking water has received great attention from researchers and scientists worldwide. This manuscript critically reviews and discusses up to date knowledge on the occurrence of trihalomethanes in chlorinated drinking water and their associated health risks and identifies research gaps. The models for trihalomethane formation and decay have been compiled with special emphasis on the impact of the bromide ion on the total trihalomethane levels and speciation. Furthermore, the fate and transport of trihalomethanes in drinking water supplies and in groundwater have been investigated. Finally, management options for the reduction of trihalomethanes in chlorinated drinking water such as the removal of precursors from raw water, the use of alternative disinfectants and the removal of trihalomethanes from finished drinking water have been critically investigated and discussed.
