Spatial and Seasonal Variations of Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs) in Drinking Water Distribution Systems of Istanbul City, Turkey
TLDR
In this article, seasonal and spatial variations of trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) in 30 sampling points within three water distribution systems of Istanbul City, Turkey were examined.About:

Occurrence of nitrogenous and carbonaceous disinfection byproducts in drinking water distributed in Shenzhen, China
TL;DR: All the DBP concentrations showed clear seasonal variations with the highest average concentrations in spring, and Correlation analyses showed that the THMs and CH levels in Shenzhen drinking water could be used as statistical indicators of the levels of unregulated N-DBPs.

TL;DR: THMs and HAAs have limited value as predictors of other DBPs on a generalised basis, and principal component analysis provides a complementary tool to address the complex nature of the mixture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical characterization and relative toxicity assessment of disinfection byproduct mixtures in a large drinking water supply network.
TL;DR: The formation of most DBPs was enhanced at high water temperatures (except for Br-THALs) and increasing residence times, and potential cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of the DBP mixtures were mainly attributed to the presence of nitrogen-containing DBPs and HAAs.

Sources of Variability in Levels and Exposure to Trihalomethanes
TL;DR: The exposure to trihalomethanes (THM) during pregnancy in a subset is assessed by evaluating potential sources of variability in household THM levels; (2) the between- and within-subject variability in THM Levels; (3) ThM levels in swimming pools; and (4) the role of water-related habits on total THM uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal and spatial evolution of trihalomethanes in a drinking water distribution system according to the treatment process
TL;DR: It was found that THM formation is not proportional to the applied chlorine dose in the treatment process, but there is a direct relationship with the accumulated dose of chlorine.

Occurrence, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity of regulated and emerging disinfection by-products in drinking water: a review and roadmap for research.
TL;DR: The brominated DBPs were the most genotoxic of all but have not been tested for carcinogenicity and highlighted the emerging importance of dermal/inhalation exposure to the THMs, or possibly other DBPs, and the role of genotype for risk for drinking-water-associated bladder cancer.

Control of Disinfection By‐Products in Drinking Water
TL;DR: This paper reviews the history associated with the occurrence and regulation of disinfection by-products in finished drinking water, some of the underlying chemistry associated with their formation, technologies and strategies appropriate for their control, and conclusions concerning the current status of their regulation in the United States.

TL;DR: Findings extend findings of earlier epidemiologic studies and are consistent with environmental chemistry and toxicologic data demonstrating the presence of genotoxic by-products of chlorine disinfection in treated surface waters.
