Abstract(s)

Health risk estimation for exposure to trihalomethanes (THM) in indoor swimming pools would represent a useful tool for public health management. The aim of this study was to estimate the carcinogenic health risks from exposure to THM through multiple pathways among non-competitive swimming pool attendees. Exposure factors of participants were collected via questionnaires and THM levels were obtained from water quality records.
