Detection of Triclosan Dioxins After UV Irradiation — A Preliminar Study

摘要

Triclosan (TCS) by itself represents a major health and environmental problem. Also concerning are its photoproducts, various dioxins, which are even more dangerous, creating a need and opportunity to develop dedicated sensors to detect their presence in water. By treating featured data through principal component analysis (PCA), the footprint of the dangerous TCS products after irradiation can be clearly outlined. This result allow us to conclude that a TCS sensor device based on electronic tongue concept can be envisaged.
