The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established nationally consistent environmental and health data measures (NCDM) for the environmental and health tracking network. DBPs are an NCDM. Linking data on DBP concentrations in drinking water with health data will provide specific information to the general public and policy makers on the degree to which DBPs contamination may be contributing to adverse health impacts in communities throughout the state.
