Welcome
HiWATE is a Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP) funded under the EU Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP6). The overall aim of this project is to investigate potential human health risks (e.g. cancer, premature births, small for gestational age, semen quality, still birth, congenital anomalies) associated with long-term exposure to low levels of disinfectants (such as chlorine) and disinfectant by-products (DBPs) occurring in water for human consumption and use in the food industry.
