  • How are people exposed to disinfection by-products (DBPs)?
  • People are mostly exposed to disinfection by-products (DBPs) through drinking water. The modes of human exposure to DBPs include cutaneous absorption during bathing and swimming, drinking DBP’s contaminated water, and inhalation of DBP’s contaminated air.
  • What is a disinfection by-product (DBP)?
  • DBPs are created as a consequence of the procedure used to detoxify drinking water using various chemicals, which pose a concern to a sizable population in developed countries. People are mostly exposed to disinfection by-products (DBPs) through drinking water.
  • What is the stage 1 disinfectants and disinfection byproducts rule (DBPR)?
  • The Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (DBPR) reduces drinking water exposure to disinfection byproducts. The Rule applies to community water systems and non-transient non-community systems, including those serving fewer than 10,000 people that add a disinfectant to the drinking water during any part of the treatment process.
  • Are DBPs toxic?
  • The DBPs have immense potential to cause toxicological implications among the exposed individuals. Drinking water is the principal source of human exposure to these disinfection by-products, while there are a few small sources outside of drinking water.
  • How many DBPs are present in a drinking water treatment plant?
  • Serrano M, Montesinos I, Cardador MJ, Silva M, Gallego M (2015) Seasonal evaluation of the presence of 46 DBPs throughout a drinking water treatment plant. Sci Total Environ 517:246–258
  • What percentage of DBPs are verified by chemical standards?
  • Only 10% of reported DBPs are verified by chemical standards. Acids are the largest category among all functional groups of reported DBPs. Structures of proposed DBPs were characterized based on adjusted indexes. Since trihalomethanes were discovered in 1974, disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water have attracted extensive attention.
