Abstract：
:Chlorination of drinking water containing organic materials is known to generate toxic by-products. We suggested that such compounds may also be produced by interactions between chlorine and bacteria present in water. To confirm this hypothesis, a method based on RNA synthesis inhibition of HeLa S3 human cells in the presence of toxic compounds was applied. This method is rapid and highly sensitive since the concentration of the samples is not required. Furthermore, it was shown to be a suitable method for measurement of the cytotoxicity of water. Aeromonas hydrophila suspensions, prepared with pyrodistilled water, devoid of any organic material, were chlorinated for a definite contact time. HeLa S3 cells were incubated (20 h, 37 degrees C) in a culture medium prepared with the chlorinated bacteria suspensions. The rate of incorporation of 3H uridine into RNA was used as a measure of RNA synthesis and was evaluated in the presence and absence of chlorinated bacteria suspension. This study showed that chlorinated bacteria suspensions are cytotoxic. We observed that 0.22 microm filters retain cytotoxic compounds but 0.45 microm filters did not. Chlorine concentration and bacteria level influence the cytotoxicity. First, the toxicity level increases with chlorine concentration, then it decreases when chlorine concentration is too high. On another hand, a dose effect relationship between bacteria concentration and cytotoxicity was established.
