What Does DBP Stand For?
DBP stands for Disinfection By Product
DBP, or Disinfection By Product, refers to chemical compounds formed when disinfectants, such as chlorine, react with naturally occurring organic and inorganic materials in water during the treatment process. While disinfection is essential for ensuring water safety, the presence of DBPs can pose potential health risks if consumed in significant quantities. Monitoring and controlling DBPs is critical for maintaining water quality and complying with health regulations.
