Abstract

Triclosan (TCS) by itself represents a major health and environmental problem. Also concerning are its photoproducts, various dioxins, which are even more dangerous, creating a need and opportunity to develop dedicated sensors to detect their presence in water. By treating featured data through principal component analysis (PCA), the foot-print of the dangerous TCS products after irradiation can be clearly outlined. This result allow us to conclude that a TCS sensor device based on electronic tongue concept can be envisaged.
