Chlorodibromoacetic acid is a haloacetic acid, a family of organic disinfection byproducts originating from chlorinated water. In drinking water, haloacetic acids like Chlorodibromoacetic acid can be common contaminants. Chromatography with Chlorodibromoacetic acid as an analytical standard may be performed for the determination of the presence of any Chlorodibromoacetic acid in drinking water. In addition, Chlorodibromoacetic acid may also see application in the environmental, food and beverage, forensics, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
