Scientist proposes new approach to assess drinking water quality Most consumers of drinking water in the United States know that chemicals are used in the treatment processes to ensure the water is safe to drink. But they might not know that the use of some of these chemicals, such as chlorine, can also lead to the formation of unregulated toxic byproducts. Johns Hopkins Environmental Health and Engineering Prof. Carsten Prasse propose a new approach to assessing drinking water quality that cou...
