Triclosan and Triclocarban Biocide Residue Testing
topic
Triclosan and triclocarban extraction from antimicrobial-treated textiles uses methanol or acetonitrile sonication followed by LC-MS/MS or GC-MS quantification, measuring both total content and wash-release profiles across multiple laundering cycles; environmental monitoring of laundry effluent quantifies aquatic loading of these broad-spectrum antimicrobials of concern.
Role
Addresses the endocrine disruption and antibiotic resistance promotion risks of triclosan-based antimicrobial textile treatments, supporting regulatory phase-out decisions by quantifying consumer exposure and aquatic environmental loading from the large volume of triclosan-treated sportswear and casual apparel entering global markets.
