Bromochloroacetic acid is utilized in environmental chemistry, particularly in the analysis of water treatment processes where it serves as a byproduct indicator of disinfection methods. Studies frequently examine the formation mechanisms of Bromochloroacetic acid in chlorinated and brominated water to understand its impact on water quality and to improve filtration techniques. Bromochloroacetic acid′s role is investigated in the atmospheric chemistry, where it can participate in chemical reactions contributing to air pollution.
