Comment on “Disinfection Byproducts in Drinking Water and Evaluation of Potential Health Risks of Long-Term Exposure in Nigeria”

Abstract EN

The article by Benson et al.

[1] gives me considerable cause for concern.

Overall, I would argue that the authors have not presented an evaluation of the potential health risks of long-term exposure to disinfection by-products (DBPs) in this article as they claim, as the data and methods used are not fit for purpose and the conclusions drawn are inappropriate.

I found it particularly strange that the authors cite an article my colleagues and I wrote [2], which criticises the very methods that they employed in their work, apparently either without reading it or choosing to completely ignore its contents.
