Research progress on toxicology of haloquinoid disinfection byproducts
Halobenzoquinones(HBQs)are newly identified,unregulated disinfection by-products(DBPs)with potential toxicity,recently found in various water bodies.This article reviews the chemical properties,and formation mechanisms of HBQs,as well as their environmental distribution.It provides an extensive overview of the toxicological impacts of HBQs exposure,including cytoxicity,oxidative stress toxicity,genetic toxicity,and other biological effects.The goal is to offer a scientific basis for further investigation into the toxicological mechanisms of HBQs and to enhance understanding of the potential health risks associated with HBQs exposure.
