N2 - The removal by aeration of a mixture of disinfection leave the concentrations of many other DBPs largely byproducts (DBPs) was modeled, and the resulting impact unaffected; since these other DBPs are predicted to on overall cytotoxicity or genotoxicity was calculated. contribute to the majority of the cytotoxicity and Both the aeration model and the toxicity model were genotoxicity, the models used in the current research simplistic, but all assumptions were made to err on the predicted only a 4% reduction in both cytotoxicity and side of overestimating DBP volatility to try to demonstrate genotoxicity. Although this study was a preliminary a possible health benefit. The results predicted that screening limited by simplistic models, it underscores a aeration designed to remove 90% of chloroform would need to conduct more research in this area.
