Triclosan is used as an antibacterial agent in many products ranging from soaps to toys to mouthwashes. It has been proposed that the oxidation of triclosan results in radical intermediates that react to form stable products; these products pose a possible health hazard. Our research involves the detection of triclosan radical intermediates using ESR and additionally characterizes the stable products.
