Drinking water is our most important food item, but the problems with chemical contaminants in our drinking waters are increasing.
In this project, we use effect-based methods, based on cultured mammalian cells that have been modified to respond to different classes of hazardous chemicals.
The great strength with these effect based methods is that they integrate the effects of both known and unknown chemicals as well as potential cocktail effects.
The aim of this project is to use effect-based toxicity testing methods to evaluate how efficiently hazardous chemicals are removed from water by different drinking water treatment technologies. By using effect-based methods, we can integrate the effects of both known and unknown chemicals as well as cocktail effects in the evaluation.
