Triclosan is an artificial chemical with antimicrobial properties that eradicate or hinder the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi. This chemical was first made known n 1972 when it was used in hospitals for surgical scrubs. The overall population is subjected to Triclosan because it is widely used in many products that people use on a daily basis. For example Triclosan is found in “soaps‚ cosmetics‚ therapeutics and plastics” (http://www.pnas.org/content/111/48/17200.full). In addition
