Risk of colorectal and breast cancer with widespread drinking water chemical contaminants (CANCER-WATCH)

I00KWAT
The project aims to provide new epidemiological evidence on the association between DBPs and nitrate in drinking water with breast and colorectal cancer risk. Specifically, we will: 1) Ascertain drinking water source and treatment in the study areas for 1950-2019. 2) Model level of THMs, bromate, chlorate, chlorite and nitrate in drinking water. 3) Validate current routine monitoring data with own measurements. 4) Estimate long-term exposure to THM, bromate, chlorate, chlorite and nitrate in the study population. 5) Evaluate the breast and colorectal cancer risk associated with long-term exposure to THMs, bromate, chlorate, chlorite and nitrate, adjusting for confounders.
