This presentation is part of the MinnMass Fall Meeting will be held October 27th at the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory in Minneapolis.
Tours of the facility: 5:00-6:30 PM
Presentation by Professor William Arnold at 7:00 PM.

Abstract:
From triclosan to dioxins: How your handsoap leads to an unanticipated environmental problem. Triclosan is an antimicrobial chemical added to liquid handsoaps. After being washed down the drain, triclosan enters wastewater treatment plants where it is not completely removed. The triclosan (and related compounds) that is discharged into surface waters is transformed by sunlight into dioxins. Dioxins are persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic pollutants. Analysis of lake sediments demonstrates that dioxins arising from triclosan are accumulating in the environment.
