The concentrations and removal rate of Triclosan, an antibacterial ingredient in consumer products, were measured at advanced trickling filter (TF) and activated sludge (AS) wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the River Aire basin in the UK in September 2000. Additionally, the in-stream removal of Triclosan was measured directly in Mag Brook, the stream receiving the treated effluent from the TF plant, using a fluorescent dye tracer to determine the water plug travel times. The in-stream removal of the dissolved and un-ionized (i.e. bioavailable) fraction of the compound was measured using semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) deployed at various distances downstream from the WWTP discharge point. The estimated removal rates were used in the GREAT-ER (Geography-Referenced Regional Exposure Assessment Tool for European Rivers) model to predict the site-specific distribution of Triclosan concentrations in the Aire basin as well as to calculate regional concentrations. High WWTP (similar to95%) and in-stream (0.21-0.33 h(-1)) removal rates of Triclosan in Mag Brook confirm that this chemical is rapidly eliminated from the aquatic environment.
