What Are the Challenges in Assessing Trihalomethane-Related Cancer Risk?
One of the main challenges is the variability in THM levels across different water supplies and over time, making it difficult to assess accurate exposure levels. Furthermore, individuals' genetic susceptibility and lifestyle factors, such as smoking and diet, can influence cancer risk, complicating the isolation of THM effects. Longitudinal studies are required to better understand the relationship between THM exposure and cancer risk.
