Key Points

Iodinated disinfection by-products pose significant health risks, including the potential for bladder cancer and miscarriage.
The formation of I-DBPs occurs in chlorinated urban wastewaters when treated with Iohexol under sunlit conditions.
Urban wastewaters can introduce elevated levels of toxic by-products, raising concerns for both environmental and public health.
The research highlights the need for improved wastewater management practices to mitigate the formation of harmful by-products.

Implication

Research demonstrates toxic iodinated disinfection by-products in chlorinated urban wastewaters, indicating health risks.

Abstract

Iodinated disinfection by-products (I-DBPs) are of growing concern due to their elevated toxicity compared to their chlorinated counterparts, with links to adverse health effects such as bladder cancer and miscarriages....
