DBP’s are present in most drinking water supplies that have been subject to chlorination, chloramination, ozonation, or treatment with chlorine dioxide. Many hundreds of DBP’s exist in treated drinking water and at least 600 have been identified; only a handful of DBP’s are actually monitored. Increasingly it is recognized that the genotoxicities and cytotoxicities of many of the DBP’s not subject to regulatory monitoring, are comparatively much higher than those DBP’s commonly monitored. Chloramine has become a popular disinfectant in the US, and it has been found to produe N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), which is a possible human carcinogen. NDMA is cclassified as a B2 (probable human) carcinogen based on the induction of tumors in both rodents and nonrodent mammals exposed to NDMA by various routes.
