The authors were Bakare, Babatunde Femi;Adeyinka, Gbadebo Clement, and the article was included in《International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health》. The author mentioned the following in the article:
Triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) are antimicrobial agents that have been used in personal care and consumer products in the past decades. In this study, influent, effluent, and sludge samples collected in selected wastewater treatment plants across the Durban metropolis were qual. and quant. investigated. It was revealed that the concentration of TCS ranged from 1.906 to 73.462μg/L, from 1.732 to 6.980μg/L, and from 0.138 to 2.455μg/kg in influent, effluent, and sludge samples, resp. The concentrations of TCC were found to be between 0.320 and 45.261μg/L, <LOQ-1.103μg/L, and from 0.107 to 8.827μg/kg in the influent, effluent, and sludge samples, resp. Higher concentrations of TCS as compared with TCC were observed in the aqueous samples. However, the concentrations of TCC in the sludge samples were significantly higher than the level of TCS. More water solubility of TCS could be responsible for the observed trend in the influent and effluent samples, while the trend observed in the sludge could be due to the more hydrophobicity character of TCC. The results of this study indicated that substantial amounts of TCS and TCC are been removed during the treatment process which could be a major reason for the decline in the levels recorded in the effluent samples, therefore, reducing the amount of the TCS and TCC that would eventually end up in the surface rivers. Qual. analyses of the samples indicated the presence of caffeine, tert-butylhydroquinone, chloroxylenol, phenol, 4-(1,1,3,3-tetra-Me butyl), and dimethyl-bisphenol A. Further investigative ecol. risk assessment studies are crucial due to the potential threat the contaminants may pose to aquatic lives and humans. And 4-tert-Octylphenol (cas: 140-66-9) was used in the research process.
4-tert-Octylphenol(cas: 140-66-9) has been used as a reference standard for the determination of the analyte in water samples using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC/MS/MS).Synthetic Route of C14H22O
