Abstract
Chlorination is a common method for disinfecting drinking water but can produce potentially carcinogenic by-products, such as trihalomethanes (THMs). A new systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the association between residential THM exposure and cancer risk, and the results were published in Environmental Health Perspectives.
Overall, 29 studies assessing THM concentrations in relation to cancer in 14 organs were analysed, including 8 on bladder cancer. Among all tumours, only bladder cancer and colorectal cancer were eligible for meta-analyses.
