Trihalomethanes (THMs) are regulated disinfection by-products (DBPs), analyzed in drinking water due to their toxicological health effects. However, few data exist regarding the content of emerging THMs in drinking water, which are present at very low concentrations. This study aimed to monitor hazardous and emerging THMs from drinking water supply in a residential area via solid phase microextraction using gas chromatography. Response surface methodology was employed to evaluate the role of…

TLDR
Results demonstrated that iodoform was statistically more damaging as compared to chloroform, suggesting liver damage in fish specimens exposed to spiked DBPs.

TLDR
This research demonstrated the integration of the procedures for the analytical chemistry and analytical biology when working with limited amounts of sample and found the brominated nitromethanes were more cytotoxic and genotoxic than their chlorinated analogues.
