What this violation means

Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) are the second major group of disinfection byproducts after TTHMs. They form by the same mechanism — chlorine reacting with organic matter — and pose similar long-term cancer risks. Utilities are required to test quarterly at distribution-system locations to track HAA5 levels.

Recommended precautions

  • Activated carbon filtration removes most HAA5.
  • Reverse osmosis is highly effective.
  • Unlike TTHMs, HAA5 do not significantly off-gas. Use treatment rather than aeration.
  • Long-term ingestion is the primary concern, not short-term skin contact.
