While disinfection is vitally important to prevent waterborne disease, disinfection by-products (DBPs) form as an unintended consequence. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency currently regulates 11 DBPs in drinking water. In 2022, a new class of DBP called halocyclopentadienes (HCPDs) was discovered in chlorinated and chloraminated drinking water from three U.S. cities.
