“…For example, one study showed that TCS in formulation has the ability to react with chlorine in tap water to produce 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, and chloroform although the risk introduced by these exposures was not determined (Fiss et al, 2007). In other studies, the photodegredation of TCS also resulted in the formation of 2,4-dichlorophenol as well as other toxic compounds such as, 2,8 dichlorodibenzodioxin, and dichlorohydroxydiphenyl (Latch et al, 2003;Sanchez-Prado et al, 2006). As several reports show that TCS is commonly found in sources that are directly exposed to sunlight, such as surface water and streams, it can be suggested the presence of TCS increases the risk of exposure to its toxic degradation products (Hua et al, 2005;Kolpin et al, 2002).…”
