Drinking water quality criteria value estimation for representative haloacetamide disinfection byproducts via a benchmark dose approach based on an association analysis between drinking water exposure and altered liver function in a community population in Wuxi from Jiangsu province
Haloacetamides (HAcAms), a cytotoxic nitrogenous disinfection byproduct, are widely detected in drinking water, but their health impacts and water quality criteria (WQC) remain unclear. This study measured levels of dichloroacetamide (DCAcAm), Bromochloroacetamide (BCAcAm), and dibromoacetamide (DBAcAm) in Wuxi City's water and analyzed their associationwith liver function in 829 participants. DCAcAm (0.56–9.83 μg/L) was the most abundant HAcAms. Comprehensive analysis of finished water and tap water showed that theconcentrations of three HAcAms in the water samples from the Yangtze River were higher in the dry season than in the wet season (p < 0.05). In both the dry season and the wet season, the reservoir water samples had the lowest median concentrations of the three HAcAms (p < 0.05). Generalized linear models showed significant linear correlations between HAcAms and elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (p < 0.05), persisting after excluding older participants. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses showed that BCAcAm and DBAcAm exhibited significant nonlinear correlations with albumin (ALB), globulin (GLB), and total protein (TP) (p for nonlinear<0.05). Using benchmark dose (BMD) modeling, reference doses (RfDs) were derived: 0.10, 0.12, and 0.09 μg/(kg·d) for DCAcAm, BCAcAm, and DBAcAm, respectively, with corresponding WQC values of 4.27, 5.13, and 3.85 μg/L. Findings suggest HAcAm exposure may impair liver function, warranting further toxicological and epidemiological research. This study estimated the population RfD and drinking water WQC of HAcAms for the first time, providing a basis for further HAcAms population health risk assessment and the development of drinking water relevant regulations or guidelines.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
