1,2-Dichloropropane violations in Alabama

18 active public water systems in Alabama had a 1,2-Dichloropropane violation in the past three years. What 1,2-Dichloropropane is and why it matters.

Health effects: Chronic exposure to 1,2-dichloropropane is associated with liver and kidney damage. EPA classifies it as a probable human carcinogen (Group B2) based on animal evidence of liver and mammary gland tumors. Long-term exposure above the MCL is the primary concern; communities near Superfund sites and former agricultural fumigation areas face elevated exposure risk.

About this data

A system is counted once if any of its violations in the past three years involved 1,2-Dichloropropane, including monitoring and reporting lapses. Rules violated and status in the table are for the whole system, not 1,2-Dichloropropane alone.

The Alabama records are from EPA's data refresh of Oct 7, 2026; EPA refreshes this data quarterly, and states report to EPA with a lag of three to six months, so the newest violations may not appear yet.
