TLDR
There was little or no evidence for associations between total trihalomethane concentration and adverse birth outcomes relating to fetal growth and prematurity, with the possible exception of SGA.Abstract:
Background:Exposure to total trihalomethanes in drinking water has been associated with several adverse birth outcomes relating to fetal growth and prematurity.Methods:We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies featuring original peer-reviewed data on the associatiread more

Drinking Water Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs) and Human Health Effects: Multidisciplinary Challenges and Opportunities
Xing-Fang Li,William A. Mitch +1 more
TL;DR: New approaches being taken by analytical chemists, engineers, toxicologists and epidemiologists to characterize theDBP classes driving disinfected water toxicity are discussed, and it is suggested that DBP exposure should be measured using other DBP classes in addition to THMs.

CHO cell cytotoxicity and genotoxicity analyses of disinfection by-products: An updated review
TL;DR: This review provides a detailed presentation of the methodology for the quantitative, comparative analyses on the induction of cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of 103 DBPs using an identical analytical biological platform and endpoints, representing the largest direct quantitative comparison on the toxic potency of both regulated and emerging DBPs.

Virender K. Sharma,Mingbao Feng +1 more
TL;DR: A review on the environmental applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are inorganic-organic hybrid highly porous crystalline materials, prepared from metal ion/clusters and multidentate organic ligands, and the challenge and future perspectives in MOF-based AOPs are addressed.

Toxic Impact of Bromide and Iodide on Drinking Water Disinfected with Chlorine or Chloramines
Yang Yang,Yukako Komaki,Susana Y. Kimura,Hong-Ying Hu,Elizabeth D. Wagner,Benito J. Mariñas,Michael J. Plewa +6 more
TL;DR: If monochloramine (NH2Cl) disinfection generated drinking water with less toxicity than water disinfected with free chlorine (HOCl) and to determine the impact of added bromide and iodide in conjunction with HOCl or NH2Cl disinfection on mammalian cell cytotoxicity and genomic DNA damage induction.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses
TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test
TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.

Improving the quality of reports of meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials: the QUOROM statement
TL;DR: This report hopes this report will generate further thought about ways to improve the quality of reports of meta-analyses of RCTs and that interested readers, reviewers, researchers, and editors will use the QUOROM statement and generate ideas for its improvement.
