Ethylene Dibromide (EDB) violations in Wisconsin

6 active public water systems in Wisconsin had a Ethylene Dibromide (EDB) violation in the past three years. What Ethylene Dibromide (EDB) is and why it matters.

Health effects: EDB is classified by EPA as a probable human carcinogen (Group B2). It is acutely toxic at high doses, causing liver, kidney, and reproductive damage. Chronic low-level exposure is associated with increased cancer risk. Men of reproductive age face particular risk due to EDB's well-documented testicular toxicity.

About this data

A system is counted once if any of its violations in the past three years involved Ethylene Dibromide (EDB), including monitoring and reporting lapses. Rules violated and status in the table are for the whole system, not Ethylene Dibromide (EDB) 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 Wisconsin 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.
