“…Human health may be therefore affected by THMs through ingestion of chlorinated drinking water or foods processed with chlorinated water. In Algeria, epidemiological investigations indicate an increase in the incidence of cancer [17] but none of these studies attempt to correlate this increase with chlorination practice and produced THMs. Simply, there is little epidemiological data to support significant health risks from chemicals.…”

Drinking water supplies continue to be a major source of human disease because many of them remain unsafe and vulnerable. The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of trihalomethanes formation and chemical and microbiological quality through four raw surface waters as well as finished tap waters. The seasonal changes on trihalomethane formation and concentration of organic precursors were examined. Results show that disinfection for Algerian drinking water reduces the risk of pathogenic infection but may pose chemical threat to human health due to high levels of by-products such as trihalomethanes, when the organic and inorganic precursors are present in water. The level of THM precursors vary between different catchment areas and between different water treatment plants, and seasonally. Such work may be interesting to help management strategies and to assist drinking water treatment plants in DBP control processes for increasingly impaired water sources.

Background:The frequency of digestive cancers is increasing since the last ten years. The aim of the study was to determine the epidemiologic and histologic aspects of digestive cancers in Togo. Method: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study focused on digestive cancers cases diagnosed from 1995 throughout 2014 (20 years) at the pathology laboratory of the Lomé teaching hospital. We included all digestive samples (biopsy, excision, surgical specimens) collected and sent to the pathology laboratory from 1994 to 2013 using data from the records of the laboratory. Results: We have collected 1306 cases of digestive cancers (20.4%). The annual incidence was 65.3 cases. The sex-ratio (M/F) was 1.5. The mean age was 47.8 years. The most common locations were the stomach (35.3%) and the esophagus (27.3%). The adenocarcinoma was predominant in the stomach (84.4%), the rectum (70.2%), and the colon (86.3%). The squamous cell carcinoma was commonly found at the esophagus (94.8%). The lymphomas were observed in the small intestine (53.4%). Conclusion: Digestive cancers are frequent in Togo and occur in young adults. The stomach cancer is the most common cancer
