Iron(III)-tetraamidomacrocyclic ligand (Fe(III)-TAML) activators can activate hydrogen peroxide to oxidize many kinds of organic pollutants. In this study, we investigated the degradation of triclosan, a widely used broad-spectrum bactericide, under the treatment of Fe(III)-TAML/HO system at different pH conditions. We also studied the influence of natural organic matter (NOM) on the degradation process. Our results showed that complete removal of triclosan could be obtained within several minutes under the optimal conditions. The degradation of triclosan by Fe(III)-TAML/HO system exhibited strong pH-dependence and the degradation rate increased with the increase in pH level from 7.0 to 10.0. When adding fulvic acid (FA) or humic acid (HA) in the reaction system, the degradation of triclosan could be suppressed slightly, and HA exhibited stronger inhibition than FA. Based on the analysis of reaction intermediates, phenoxyl radical reaction and ring open reaction were involved in the decomposition of triclosan. Significant inhibition of overall toxicity to Photobacterium phosphoreum further confirmed the high efficiency of Fe(III)-TAML/HO system for the removal of antibiotic activities resulting from the parent triclosan molecule and its degradation products.

Bile acids, a representative diagnostic indicator of liver function, are used to visualize the extent of liver injury. Numerous studies have shown that triclosan (TCS) exposure leads to abnormal bile acid metabolism. As a result, there is a requirement to develop a fast and smart means to quantitatively monitor abnormal bile acids from exposure to triclosan in bio-sample.

This Study focuses on the preparation of sustainable and efficient Chitosan catalyst for the removal of three organic pollutants, 17β-Estradiol (E2), 17α-ethynyl estradiol (EE2) and triclosan (TCS) from water. The prepared nanocomposites were characterized by different techniques which confirmed the presence of the key components Chitosan, Carica Papaya seed and Kaolinite. The optical characterization proved the nanocomposite is photoactive with a band gap of 1.

Environmental phenols are a group of typical endocrine disruptors, and widely detectable in human breast milk and infant formulas. However, exposures data are scarce in early infancy, a particularly sensitive period to environmental pollutants exposures. We aimed to prospectively assess urinary concentrations of eighteen environmental phenols in infants from birth to 6 months of age and their associations with feeding patterns (breastfeeding, formula and mixed-feeding).

Triclosan (TCS) is a primary broad-spectrum antibacterial agent commonly present in the environment. As a new type of environmental endocrine disruptor, it causes range of toxicities, including hepatotoxicity and reproductive toxicity. However, few research has examined the toxicity of long-term TCS-induced exposure in zebrafish at ambient concentrations, in contrast to the early life stage investigations.
