Chloroform can be created as Triclosan reacts with the chlorine in public water supplies, and the more recent research confirms that this occurs even under "normal use" conditions (i.e. with that antibacterial soap in the bathroom). <BR/>While it is also true that UV radiation leads to the formation of specific dioxins as a Triclosan break-down byproduct, scientists are saying that the dioxins produced are not of the "toxic" variety. Then again, DDT didn't use to be toxic either...Guido Mase'https://www.blogger.com/profile/08186818316201584509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738694062065682753.post-53532584084400714622009-04-03T23:52:00.000-04:002009-04-03T23:52:00.000-04:00Thanks for the frightening update.

I also read that triclosan reacts with chlorine in water to produce chloroform gas, and that when exposed to sunlight, triclosan forms dioxins (?!). Do you know anything about that?Sarah Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12368530855800087484noreply@blogger.com
