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
