• Description: Trichlorosan is a biocide that is used as a disinfectant and preservative, and has also been shown to have antibacterial properties. It is often used in industrial settings to inhibit the growth of bacteria in process water, cooling towers, and wastewater treatment systems. Trichlorosan has been shown to be genotoxic in rats at high doses. This chemical can be found in personal care products such as soaps, toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorants, or body lotion. It can also be found in some household items such as kitchenware, clothes and bedding. Triclosan is one of the active ingredients in trichlorosan that prevents bacterial growth by binding to the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of glycerol to fatty acids and lysing cells through cell membrane disruption. The enzyme activity index for triclosan was determined by measuring the amount of time it takes for a solution containing benzalkonium chloride (B
