Genotoxicity of chlorinated mixture (GCM) is not predicted by that of single (GCI).
pH is an important factor affecting difference between GCM and GCI (GΔ = GCM-GCI).
GΔ > 0 occurred at pH 5.0–6.1 and GΔ < 0 occurred at pH 6.3–8.0.
GΔ is determined by N-DBPs decrease in mixture and combined effects between DBPs.
TON ratio can be used to estimate the GΔ value.
