Short communication: simultaneous removal of co-occurring contaminants reduces drinking water-attributed cancer risk: A United States case study

Analysis of decreased cancer risk associated with the simultaneous reduction of co-occurring drinking water contaminants provides information for establishing new frameworks for mitigating contaminants and protecting public health from pollution. Consideration of the health and economic benefits associated with removal of co-occurring contaminants may help underscore the value of regulations that encourage the use of such technologies. It could also support the development of more efficient approaches for drinking water treatment.
