Recent Advances in Toxicological Methods for Testing Toxicity of Organic Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) in Drinking Water
饮用水有机类消毒副产物毒理学研究方法进展

Assessing the toxicity and health risk of organic disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water has received wide attention in recent years with the improvement of disinfection technology and the occurrence of a new generation of DBPs. Based on the findings of worldwide studies on toxicity of DBPs, organic DBPs were classified systematically, and the toxicological methods for testing typical nitrogenous DBPs (N-DBPs) and carbonaceous DBPs (C-DBPs) were introduced in details. The questions needed to be solved and the suggestions for solutions were discussed so as to provide a roadmap for further study in this field.
