Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality: Guideline Technical Document - Bromate

Bromate is usually found in drinking water as a result of water treatment, rather than through source water contamination. The presence of bromate in treated drinking water is primarily related to the reaction between ozone and naturally occurring bromide in source water and to its formation during the generation of hypochlorite solutions used to disinfect water. This guideline technical document reviews and assesses all identified health risks associated with bromate in drinking water.
