This research program will address some key issues related to achieving and ensuring delivery of safe drinking water to consumers through a focus on approaches to practical risk assessment, risk management and risk comprehension. The most important health risk for humans posed by drinking water quality is that posed by microbial pathogens which must be reduced by adequate water treatment, particularly disinfection. However, all chemical disinfection processes produce unwanted disinfection byproducts which which may pose a public health risk - a major focus of my research (Contribution #1,2).

这项研究计划将通过重点关注实际风险评估、风险管理和风险理解的方法，解决与实现和确保向消费者提供安全饮用水有关的一些关键问题。饮用水水质对人类构成的最重要的健康风险是微生物病原体，必须通过适当的水处理，特别是消毒来减少这些病原体。然而，所有化学消毒过程都会产生不需要的消毒副产品，这可能会对公共健康构成风险--这是我研究的一个主要重点(贡献#1，2)。
