Abstract
Organic micropollutants extracted from a municipal drinking water supply by carbon adsorption inhibited cholinesterase activity in vitro. Since AChE-inhibiting chemicals are known to produce symptoms in humans referrable to the nervous system, such micropollutants may play a role in psychiatric disorders of non-emotional origin.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
