Fuzzy synthetic evaluation of disinfection by-products-a risk-based indexing system

Article Abstract:

A risk-based indexing system for chlorinated disinfection by-products (DBPs) found in drinking water using the fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE) technique is described. The weighted evaluation matrices of cancer and non-cancer risks are aggregated to determine the final risk rating and two case studies are provided to demonstrate the application of this method.
