Survey of Personal Care Products in the United States

  • First Online:
Personal Care Products in the Aquatic Environment

Part of the book series: The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry ((HEC,volume 36))

Abstract

In 2013, the United States had a population of ~316 million people, increasing 2.4% from 2010, with 13.7% of the population 65 years or older. Coupled with population growth and an aging population is an increase in the development and use of personal care products (PCPs). With 4.7% of global freshwater resources in the United States, freshwater resources and services are influenced by increasing abundance of PCPs which have been detected in freshwaters throughout the United States. Though a majority of the studies on PCPs in freshwaters globally have been conducted in the United States, a predictive understanding of PCP abundance and fate remains lacking. Compounds commonly detected in US freshwaters at high detection frequencies (>50%) include antimicrobials, fragrances, insect repellants, and UV blockers.
