在这篇文章中，调查了人类饮用重复使用的水可能对健康造成的不良影响，并概述了实验室动物试验的建议，以评估水的化学成分。从急性饮用水到慢性饮用水中的有机物、致畸性化学物质，特别是针对动物的致畸性化学物质。本文讨论的化学品包括有机和无机化学品、悬浮颗粒物和放射性化学品。 特别注意悬浮颗粒石棉。包括14篇参考文献。

In this article, the possible adverse health effects caused by human consumption of reused water are surveyed, and suggestions are outlined for laboratory animal tests to evaluate chemical constituents of the water. Specifically, animal assays are proposed for the acute, subchronic, chronic, neurologic, immunologic, teratogenic, and reproductive effects from exposure to concentrates of organic chemicals in finished drinking waters. Chemicals discussed in this article include organic and inorganic chemicals, suspended particulates, and radiochemicals. Special attention is given to the suspended particulate asbestos. Includes 14 references.
