Abstract：
:A modeling study was conducted to examine the distribution of concentrations of the antimicrobial triclosan (2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether) in rivers following discharge from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Most uses of triclosan are disposed of down residential drains and ultimately reach WWTPs. A modeling analysis was conducted to simulate the discharge of triclosan in WWTP effluents to rivers and calculate the expected concentrations based on characteristics of the reach where the discharge occurred, the estimated concentration of triclosan in the WWTP effluent, and the physicochemical properties of triclosan. A probabilistic exposure assessment was conducted based on data on the characteristics of U.S. reaches receiving wastewater discharges and the physicochemical characteristics of triclosan. A risk assessment was conducted by comparing the estimated concentrations with toxicity endpoint concentrations for species representative of key ecological groups. For fish and invertebrates, neither acute nor chronic risks are of concern, and no concerns exist for vascular aquatic plants. However, certain types of algae are the most sensitive species to triclosan by more than an order of magnitude than other algal or aquatic plant species. For these algae, the potential exists for some risk from triclosan exposure near the WWTP discharge location during low-flow-rate periods for some WWTPs with small dilutions. The risks downstream are lower because of dissipation of triclosan.
