proposal# 9413565 PI - Akse This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I research project is concerned with the consequences of long term human exposure to elemental chlorine and chlorine containing organic compounds which is an issue of increasing public concern. Chlorine in the environment has been associated with such disparate phenomena as carcinogenesis, reductions in human sperm count, and increased fragility of egg shells in endangered avian species. More stringent regulation of the release into the environment of chlorinated species is anticipated. A major source of long term, low level exposure to chlorocarbons is through the public drinking water supplies. The most significant means of minimizing the associated health risks is the reduction of those chlorinated by-products caused by excess chlorination. This requires a continuous and detailed knowledge of chlorine levels throughout the drinking water distribution system so that more precise control of chlorine additions can be made. Such control will maintain antimicrobial activity while reducing unwanted disinfection by- products. This research project has commercial potential in the monitoring of chlorine levels on a continuous basis in drinking water systems.

提案编号9413565 PI - Akse 这个小企业技术转让（STTR）第一阶段研究项目关注的是人类长期接触元素氯和含氯有机化合物的后果，这是一个日益受到公众关注的问题。 环境中的氯与致癌、人类精子数量减少和濒危鸟类蛋壳脆弱性增加等不同现象有关。 预计将对氯化物质向环境中的释放实行更严格的管制。 长期、低水平接触氯氟化碳的一个主要来源是公共饮用水供应。 最大限度地减少相关健康风险的最重要手段是减少过量氯化产生的氯化副产品。 这就需要对整个饮用水分配系统中的氯含量进行持续和详细的了解，以便更精确地控制氯的添加。 这种控制将保持抗微生物活性，同时减少不需要的消毒副产物。 该研究项目在持续监测饮用水系统中的氯含量方面具有商业潜力。
