Abstract:
Adsorption isotherms of four Polyquaternium-10 polymers (PQ-10) (quaternary ammonium derivatives of
hydroxyethyl cellulose) by activated sludge mixed liquor solids (MLS) were obtained using phenol method with
matrix-matched calibration standards (low molecular mass JR-125 and LR-400 and high molecular mass JR-30M
and LR-30M). Solution concentrations of all PQ-10 polymers at low dosing were negligible, within the limitation of
the analytical method used. At some level of dosing…

However long it takes you, ACI has a few suggestions for addressing the ABCs of spring cleaning.
A is for Asthma and Allergy Triggers
During this challenging winter, many of us were snowed in with our pets whose dander is one of the most common triggers. Compound that with a few months of everyday dust and the tiniest unwelcome guests who seek shelter in our homes during cold weather, and it’s time to do away with the "A."
Have an allergen control plan. Clean one room at a time,…
The American Cleaning Institute and the American Academy of Family Physicians remind Americans how to stay safe and healthy this fall and winter
New survey findings reveal how Americans plan to prepare
The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) are joining forces to remind Americans about best practices for cleaning and hygiene during cold and flu season.
According to new survey data released by ACI, less than one in three Americans (27%) plan…
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has named the American Cleaning Institute (ACI), the trade association of the U.S. cleaning product supply chain, as a Safer Choice Partner of the Year. ACI (www.cleaninginstitute.org) was recognized in the Supporter category.
EPA’s Safer Choice program uses the technical tools and expertise of EPA’s New Chemicals Program to evaluate the environmental and human health impacts of every chemical ingredient in a product. As a…
Q. If products aren’t tested on animals (Awesome!), how do companies ensure they’re safe to use?
A. Testing methods that don’t rely on animals as used for demonstrating and predicting the toxicity of chemicals and product formulations are increasing being used in product development applications and for some product categories they are accepted by regulatory authorities to help show a chemical or product is safe.
When consumer products are demonstrated to be safe the safety…
