Stage 1 and Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts
The Stage 1 and Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rules (DBPRs) are part of the suite of Microbial and Disinfection Byproducts Rules (MDBPs). MDBPs are a series of interrelated regulations that address risks from microbial pathogens and disinfectants/disinfection byproducts.

EPA provides guidance documents to help states and public water systems (PWSs) implement the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts (DBP) Rules. The materials below can assist in complying with requirements of these Rules including updates to reflect the Stage 2 DBP Rule.

Emerging Disinfection Byproducts Treatment Project #5005 Nitrosamine Precursors in Direct and Indirect Potable Reuse Water Research Investment $49,581 Completion Year 2025 Completed Project Highlights There is growing interest in nitrosamines, including N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), and their precursors.
Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs) in Water: What You Need to
Different disinfection byproducts have their own harmful health effects. The most common disinfection byproducts, and their health effects, are: Bromate: vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hearing loss, kidney effects, nervous system effects. Chlorate: potential carcinogen, limits the blood’s ability to absorb oxygen, leading to
Ozone Disinfection By Product Control in Drinking Water
Ozone Control of Chlorinated DBP Chlorination of water with NOM and synthetic organic compounds can result in the formation of disinfection byproducts (DBP) such as trihalomethanes (THM) and haloacetic acids (HAA). This occurs due the chlorination of the organic material in the water to THM and HAA.
- What are disinfection by-products (DBPs)?
- Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are organic and inorganic compounds resulting from chemical reactions between organic and inorganic substances such as contaminates and chemical treatment disinfection agents, respectively, in water during water disinfection processes.
- 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.
- What are disinfection byproducts?
- Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are a family of secondary contaminants generated during water disinfection. They are formed by the unintended reactions of chemical disinfectants with certain water matrix constituents, known as DBP precursors (e.g., natural organic matter (NOM), anthropogenic contaminants, and halides) , .
- How to control the production of disinfection byproducts?
- There are several solutions to control the production of disinfection byproducts. Reducing the concentration of precursors is an effective way to control the production of DBPs. The main organic precursors are NOM, algal organic matter, and wastewater effluent organic matter.
- Which of the following is an inorganic DBP?
- 2.3. Inorganic Disinfection Byproducts Inorganic DBPs include bromate, chlorite, and chlorate. Bromate is a byproduct of the ozonation process. If the water resource contains bromide ions, the use of ozone as a disinfectant will produce bromate through complex reactions (Aljundi, 2011).
- What is a DBP in drinking water?
- DBPs are present in most drinking water supplies that have been subject to chlorination, chloramination, ozonation, or treatment with chlorine dioxide.
