Dibromodichloromethane (Cat No.:M000109) is a trihalomethane, a byproduct of water disinfection processes involving chlorine and bromide. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet odor and is not naturally occurring. DBDCM is formed when chlorine reacts with natural organic matter in water containing bromide. It can be found in chlorinated drinking water and swimming pools. Exposure, mainly through ingestion or inhalation, has been linked to liver and kidney damage, and it is classified as a possible human carcinogen. Regulatory agencies monitor its concentration to reduce health risks.
