Abstract：Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) is a kind of emerging contaminants.Triclosan (TCS) is one of the most widely used antimicrobial agents,which is an emerging contaminant.TCS has been detected widely in the aquatic environment.The concentration of triclosan and methyl tdclosan was from ng/L to μg/L in surface water.TCS poses a number of harmful effects on aquatic environmental and ecosystem.The influent concentration of TCS in the wastewater treatment plant was generally μg/L level,and the effluent concentration was ng/L level.The removal of TCS in municipal wastewater treatment plant was mainly by adsorption and biodegradation.Methyl wiclosan was formed in the process of TCS degradation.The formation mechanism of metabolites and the key factors affecting TCS degradation need further study.In order to reduce the accumulation of TCS in the environment,it is necessary to further treatment of the effluent in wastewater treatment plant,and pay attention to the disposal of excess sludge.It is helpful to reduce the potential harm of TCS to the ecosystem.
