Abstract: Abstract: - The paper deals with the quantification of health risks resulting from the disinfection of drinking water and covers both non-carcinogenic and genotoxic risks. The monitoring and calculations were focused on four types of trihalogenmethanes as the main products of such disinfection having potential health risks for the exposed population. Gas chromatography with mass detector was used for the determination of the trihalogenmethanes concentrations in the drinking water. The measured concentrations of individual pollutants with probable human hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic and embryotoxic effects were used for the risk assessment. The risk assessment was carried out in compliance with the national methodology, respecting the standard operational procedure of U.S. EPA. The analysis was carried out in a selected region of the Czech Republic and three age groups of population were considered. It was discovered on the basis of d!
eveloped appropriate exposure scenarios and the determined concentrations of contaminants that the summary non-carcinogenic is acceptable and genotoxic risk is tolerable.
