A new study involving over 53,000 California women has found a significant connection between chlorinated drinking water and an increased risk of uterine cancer. The study, spanning 25 years, identified trihalomethane byproducts of chlorination as particularly concerning, with chloroform increasing the risk by 27 percent for the most common tumor form. These chemicals act as endocrine disruptors, promoting cancer formation by disrupting hormone balance. The study suggests outdated regulatory limits and advocates for safer disinfection methods such as UV light or ozonation.
