Journal ArticleDOI
Haloacetonitriles vs. Regulated Haloacetic Acids: Are Nitrogen-Containing DBPs More Toxic?
Mark G. Muellner,Elizabeth D. Wagner,Kristin Mccalla,Susan D. Richardson,Yin Tak Woo,Michael J. Plewa +5 more
TL;DR: Using microplate-based Chinese hamster ovary cell assays for chronic cytotoxicity and acute genotoxicity, HANs were analyzed and the rank order of declining genotoxic rank order was IAN > BAN approximately DBAN > BCAN > CAN > TCAN > DCAN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence, Synthesis, and Mammalian Cell Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity of Haloacetamides: An Emerging Class of Nitrogenous Drinking Water Disinfection Byproducts
Michael J. Plewa,Mark G. Muellner,Susan D. Richardson,Francesca Fasano,Katherine M. Buettner,Yin Tak Woo,A. Bruce McKague,Elizabeth D. Wagner +7 more
TL;DR: With the exception of brominated trihaloacetamides, most of the toxicity rank order was consistent with structure-activity relationship expectations and the presence of at least one good leaving halogen group appears to be critical for significant toxic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical and Biological Characterization of Newly Discovered Iodoacid Drinking Water Disinfection Byproducts
Michael J. Plewa,Elizabeth D. Wagner,Susan D. Richardson,Alfred D. Thruston,Yin Tak Woo,A. Bruce McKague +5 more
TL;DR: IA is the most toxic and genotoxic DBP in mammalian cells reported in the literature, and data suggest that chloraminated drinking waters that have high bromide and iodide source waters may contain these iodoacids and most likely other iodo-DBPs.
