Most of the personal care products containing triclosan are disposed of in residential drains meaning that municipal wastewater treatments plants are the primary source of triclosan to the environment due to its incomplete removal (Mendez et al. 2016). Irrigation using recycled water for agricultural purposes increases triclosan contamination of agreoecosystems, therefore exposing crops to triclosan. Mendez et al. demonstrated that repeated irrigation with triclosan will contaminate commercial crops, though the accumulation levels are not a human health concern, triclosan remains present in the soil. This may become an issue after subsequent crop seasons due to repeated irrigation (Mendez et al. 2016). Degradation by-products of this antimicrobial may be taken up by plants posing a greater concern than triclosan concentrations alone.
