Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) and dimethyldioctadecyl-ammonium bromide (DDAB), two common quaternary ammonium compounds, cause genotoxic effects in mammalian and plant cells at environmentally relevant concentrations [PDF]
Mutagenesis, 2007 Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are cationic surfactants that are widely used as disinfectants. In the present study, we tested two important representatives, namely, benzalkonium chloride (BAC) and dimethyldioctadecyl-ammonium bromide (DDAB) in four genotoxicity tests, namely, in the Salmonella/microsome assay with strains TA 98, TA 100 and TA ...

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2008 Mixtures of chemicals are present in the aquatic environment but standard testing methods assess only single compounds. One aspect of this question is the importance of the formation of ionic pairs, for example from quaternary ammonium compounds with organic anions, and the significance of the ionic pairs for bacterial toxicity in the aquatic ...

Kaolinite Sorption Isotherms of Benzalkonium and Dialkyldimethylammonium Compounds under Dilute Conditions Investigated by Direct and Passive Sampling Methods [PDF]
Cationic surfactants are widely used in various applications, making their environmental behavior a critical concern. However, soil sorption studies at environmentally relevant submicromolar concentrations remain scarce. In this study, sorption isotherms of five benzalkonium compounds (BACs) and two dialkyldimethylammonium compounds on kaolinite under ...

Comparative Evaluation of the Effects of Binzalkonium Chloride, Iodine, Gluteraldehyde and Hydrogen Peroxide Disinfectants against Avian Salmonellae Focusing on Genotypic Resistance Pattern of the Salmonellae Serotypes toward Benzalkonium Chloride [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2020 Using disinfectants in poultry houses is a common practice to ban the zoonotic pathogens like Salmonella. A major concern in using disinfectants is the emergence of bacteria strains that resist some disinfectants.
