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 condi-
tions 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…
Coverage of recent studies examining the increased use of disinfectants during COVID-19 may be sending misleading messages about the products’ safety during a time when they are playing a critical role in public health, according to the American Cleaning Institute (ACI – cleaninginstitute.org).
