Recent research in Australia & internationally shows that birth defects are more common in areas where mothers are exposed to poor quality drinking water, particularly when treatment chemicals known as trihalomethanes (THMs) are present. We will determine the risk that high THM levels pose to unborn babies by accurately measuring individual exposures to THMs & correlating these with adverse birth outcomes. The study will be in Perth where THM levels are very high in a number of suburbs.

澳大利亚和国际上最近的研究表明，出生缺陷在母亲接触劣质饮用水的地区更为常见，特别是在存在三卤甲烷（THMs）治疗化学品的地区。我们将通过准确测量个体THM暴露量并将其与不良出生结果相关联来确定高THM水平对未出生婴儿构成的风险。这项研究将在珀斯进行，那里的一些郊区的THM水平非常高。
