The Impact of Triclosan on the Spread of Antibiotic Resistance in the Environment [PDF]
, 2015 Triclosan (TCS) is a commonly used antimicrobial agent that enters wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and the environment. An estimated 1.1 × 105 to 4.2 × 105 kg of TCS are discharged from these WWTPs per year in the United States.

Measurement of dry deposition to bulk precipitation collectors using a novel flushing sampler [PDF]
, 2008 Bulk precipitation samplers, which are continuously open, also sample gases and particles deposited on the funnel surface. Wet-only samplers, which open only during precipitation, avoid this problem, but can be bulky (leading to disruption of air flow ...
