1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane (DBCP) violations in Washington

8 active public water systems in Washington had a 1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane (DBCP) violation in the past three years, 2 of them in the latest quarter of EPA's data. What 1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane (DBCP) is and why it matters.

Health effects: DBCP is classified by EPA as a probable human carcinogen (Group B2). It causes male reproductive toxicity — including reduced sperm count and sterility — at relatively low exposure levels. Chronic exposure is also associated with kidney damage. Men of reproductive age and developing fetuses are most at risk.

About this data

A system is counted once if any of its violations in the past three years involved 1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane (DBCP), including monitoring and reporting lapses. Rules violated and status in the table are for the whole system, not 1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane (DBCP) alone.

Source: the U.S. EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online system (ECHO), which publishes the federal Safe Drinking Water Information System. EPA's terms and values are shown as published. The Washington 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.
