Join us for a conversation with Glenn Rice and his team on Wednesday, May 5, 2021, from 11:00am – 12:00pm EST as they discuss Transdisciplinary Research Highlights and Challenges Encountered During EPA’s Four Lab Study of Risks Posed by Disinfection By-product Mixtures.
Rice is a SRA fellow and member of the EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency). In this research, the four lab team conducted a study that examined reproductive and developmental effects in laboratory rats following treatment with a whole mixture of drinking water disinfection byproducts (DBPs). It was important to undertake this study because of the widespread exposures in the U.S. population and the reproductive and developmental health effects previously reported in some epidemiological studies of DBP mixtures and in some toxicological studies of individual DBPs.
A team of drinking water treatment engineers, toxicologists, chemists, and risk assessors collaboratively initiated, designed and conducted the study to produce results relevant to DBP health risk assessment.
A brief breakdown of the study and its researchers are provided here:
