Development of Bio-Analytical Techniques to Assess the Potential Human Health Impacts of Recycled Water

The primary objectives of this project are to: 

• Review currently available in vitro or short-term in vivo bio-analytical tools and identify those that are the most promising to assess the effects of recycled/reclaimed water exposure on human health;
• Outline a validation plan for these bio-analytical tools by applying selected bio-assays and develop an operational process using a minimum of three laboratories using a range of reuse water matrices; and
• Plan and conduct laboratory research and the necessary activities to develop interpretation guidelines for bio-analytical techniques.
