Dibromochloromethane
Cancer
EWG guideline0.1 ppb
ppb = Parts per billion
Dibromochloromethane, one of the total trihalomethanes (TTHMs), is formed when chlorine or other disinfectants are used to treat drinking water. Dibromochloromethane and other disinfection byproducts increase the risk of cancer and may cause problems during pregnancy.
