Chlorine disinfection of reclaimed wastewater can produce much more complex
disinfection byproducts (DBPs) than that of drinking water. Only measuring the formation of
typical DBPs is not sufficient for evaluating the safety of reclaimed wastewater. Therefore, it
is quite important to evaluate the changes of toxicity during wastewater disinfection using a
battery of different biotoxicity tests.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of chlorine disinfection on the
estrogenic/anti-estrogenic activities, acute toxicity and genotoxicity of biologically treated
wastewater using the yeast two-hybrid assay, photobacterium assay and umu test,
respectively. Includes 10 references, figures.
