'Triclosan', considered harmful when exposed to high levels for a long time, is most likely present in which of the following?
Correct Answer:
(D)
Toiletries
Triclosan is a chemical with antibacterial properties. Triclosan is an ingredient added to many consumer products intended to reduce or prevent bacterial contamination. It is added to some antibacterial soaps and body washes, toothpastes, and some cosmetics products. It also can be found in clothing, kitchenware, furniture, and toys. In 2017, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declared that triclosan is not generally recognized as safe and effective for antiseptic products intended for use in health care settings. In 2016, the FDA also banned over-the-counter consumer antiseptic wash products containing triclosan from being marketed to consumers. These products include liquid, foam and gel hand soaps, bar soaps, and body washes. The basis of the ban was that manufacturers haven't proved that triclosan is safe for daily use over a long period.

Which one of the following is used in the manufacture of soaps?
Correct Answer:
(A)
Vegetable oil
Soap is a combination of animal fat or plant oil and caustic soda. When dissolved in water, it breaks dirt away from the surface. The modern soap makers use the fat that has been processed into fatty acids. This eliminates many impurities and it produces water as a by-product instead of glycerine. Many vegetable fats including olive oil, palm kernel oil and coconut oil are also used in soap making.
