Dibromoacetic acid (DBA) exsits in drinking water as a by-product of disinfection as a result of chlorination or ozonation processes. Hippocampus and pre-frontal cortex are the key structures in memory formation and weanling babies are more sensitive to environmental toxicant
While it is known that resorcinol- and phenol-type aromatic structures within natural organic matter (NOM) react during drinking water chlorination to form trihalomethanes (THMs), limited studies have examined aliphatic-type structures as THM and haloacetic acid (HAA) precursors. A suite of

Water disinfection by-products, such as dibromoacetic acid (DBA), are formed when drinking water is treated with chlorination, bromination, or ozonation. Epidemiological studies have linked these byproducts to adverse effects in humans such as cancer, developmental defects, and reproductive toxicities. DBA

Dibromoacetic acid (DBA) is a drinking water disinfection by-product. Its analogs, dichloroacetic acid (DCA) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), are liver carcinogens in rodents. We evaluated the ability of DBA to cause DNA hypomethylation, glycogen accumulation, and peroxisome proliferation that are
Dibromoacetic acid (DBA) is a water disinfection byproduct formed by the reaction of chlorine oxidizing compounds with natural organic matter in water containing bromide. Male and female F344/N rats and B6C3F(1) mice were exposed to DBA in drinking water for
