The body of scientific evidence currently available indicates that the use of antibacterial products does not give rise to superbugs. Superbugs are bacteria types that have become resistant to the antiseptics and antibiotic agents which were designed to eliminate them. Consequently, superbugs are known to cause infections which are difficult to control. It is generally accepted that the overuse and misuse of antibiotics has given rise to the known superbugs. As the amount of…

1. Derivation of Hazard Quotient
Risks were characterized using the HQ approach (Nabholz 1991). HQs can be used to characterize the
probability of adverse effects to ecological receptors and often focuses on phylogenetic groups (e.g.,
algae, invertebrates, and fish). HQs are defined as the quotient of the PECs and PNECs:
𝐻𝑄 =
𝑃𝐸𝐶
𝑃𝑁𝐸𝐶
If a PEC is less than a PNEC the likelihood that an organism will be impacted by the ingredient is low.
In contrast, the assumption that an…
The American Cleaning Institute suggests these tips for more sustainable and better living:
Simply Sustainable
Avoid Wasting Product:
