Toxicity and degradability of widely used personal care products

Publication

Abstract

Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) belong among widely discussed and studied pollutants in last decade. Well known synthetic and massively used estrogens 17α-ethynylestradiol and bisphenol A are commonly detected in the environment and the methods to eliminate these compounds are studied extensively.

Nevertheless, not only studied compounds contribute to the hormonal activity in the environment. We have focused on personal care products (PCPs) daily used as antimicrobial compounds in dental hygiene.
