Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs) are chemicals that can be produced when drinking water gets treated with disinfectants such as chlorine or chloramine. Disinfection is essential for removing bacteria, viruses, and parasites from drinking water. However, DBPs in drinking water can also be harmful to your health. We tested participants' tap water for 22 different DBPs.
Below are select resources on DBPs in drinking water. We will continue to add to this list as the project progresses.
