SDA Sodium Hypochlorite Monograph

This monograph summarizes: I) critical fate and effects data required for an
environmental risk assessment on sodium hypochlorite; and 2) conclusions
drawn from a risk assessment of sodium hypochlorite in the United States.
Although focused on conditions in the U.S., data from other parts of the world
that are relevant to a U.S. assessment are included in the monograph. The
monograph is written for a technical audience, but not necessarily one
familiar with environmental risk assessment.

The monograph is formatted into five sections. The first section describes
sodium hypochlorite, its chemical structure and U.S. consumption volumes.
The second section describes the function of sodium hypochlorite in cleaning
products. The third section describes its fate and exposure concentrations
in the environment. The fourth section presents environmental effects
information. The fifth section presents a comparison of exposure and effects
concentrations in the framework of an environmental risk assessment.

SDA Dihydrogenated Tallow Dimethyl Ammonium Chemicals Monograph

This monograph summarizes: 1) critical fate and effects data required for an environmental risk assessment on dihydrogenated tallow dimethyl ammonium chemicals (DHTDMA+), including the chloride (DHTDMAC) and the methyl sulfate salts (DHTDMAMS); and 2) conclusions drawn from a risk assessment of DHTDMA+ in the United States. Although focused on conditions in the U.S., data from other parts of the world that are relevant to a U.S. assessment are included in the monograph. The monograph is written for a technical audience, but not necessarily one familiar with environmental risk assessment.

The monograph is formatted into five sections. The first section describes DHTDMA+ chemicals, their chemical structure and U.S. consumption volumes. The second section describes the function of DHTDMA+ in fabric softening products. The third section describes their fate and exposure concentrations in the environment. The fourth section presents environmental effects information. The fifth section presents a comparison of exposure and effects concentrations in the framework of an environmental risk assessment.

SDA Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate Monograph

This monograph summarizes: 1) critical fate and effects data required for an environmental risk assessment on linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS); and 2) conclusions drawn from a risk assessment of LAS in the United States. Although focused on conditions in the U.S., data from other parts of the world that are relevant to a U.S. assessment are included in the monograph. The monograph is written for a technical audience, but not necessarily one familiar with environmental risk assessment.

The monograph is formatted into five sections. The first section describes LAS, its chemical structure and U.S. consumption volumes. The second section describes the function of LAS in cleaning products. The third section describes its fate and exposure concentrations in the environment. The fourth section presents environmental effects information. The fifth section presents a comparison of exposure and effects concentrations in the framework of an environmental risk assessment.
