anti-bacterial soap is a common thing in society and this soap promises to kill germs and bacteria. But did you know, many studies that say that anti-bacterial soaps containing triclosan and triclocarban which harmful to human health. Previous studies showed that anti-bacterial soaps containing triclosan and triclocarban can damage reproductive organs, lower sperm quality, the production of thyroid and sex hormones. Triclosan and triclocarban has been associated with endocrine disorders, the potential adverse impact of sexual and nerve growth. Besides in anti-bacterial soaps, triclosan is also often used in toothpaste and cosmetics. Even when first discovered 50 years ago, these compounds are also used to clean the skin surface during surgery.
Laboratory studies indicate this compound causes gene mutations in several types of bacteria, such as Ecoli, Salmonella and Listeria. It is feared that mutation would make the treatment of infections become ineffective. Not only that, new research also found that triclosan and triclocarban can damage the environment, mainly cause water and soil pollution. Waste of triclosan and triclocarban (water-borne) will be mixed with soil and natural water environment. Waste of triclosan and triclocarban is very dangerous because it can not decompose for months, even years.
Material of these compounds consist of benzene ring structure so that makes it very difficult to decompose. In addition, both compounds are also water-repellent or hydrophobic, tend to patch to a particle, thus cause a decrease in the availability of process and damage the long-term transportation facilities in water and air. In fact, one study found that the accumulation of triclosan in water cause pollution at beaches, thus threatening the lives of dolphins.
