| [브뤼셀] 비듬제거 샴푸의 클림바졸성분, 살균제 사용으로 수질악화 초래
『Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry』 저널에 의하면, 많은 양의 살균제(fungicide)가 함유된 비듬제거용 샴푸는 수질에 나쁜 영향을 미치고 있다는 연구결과가 발표됐다.
의사의 처방없이 마음대로 판매가능한 비듬제거용 샴퓨에는 항균작용 물질인 클림바졸(climbazole) 성분이 사용되는데 이 물질은 일반 폐수처리장에서 완벽하게 제거가 이루어지지 않으며 처리후에도 보통 0.5ug/l 농도로 존재하고 있다. 이러한 물질은 아주 미세한 농도라도 조류 및 어류 등에 피해를 주게 된다.

New study finds dandruff shampoo can be harmful to environment
BRUSSELS — A new study published in the journal Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry has identified the damage that dandruff shampoos, which contain a considerable amount of fungicide, can do to water quality, according to an article by Newser.
The antifungal substance climbazole, commonly used in many over-the-counter dandruff shampoos, is not completely eliminated from water in wastewater treatment plants and can be found in concentrations of up to 0.5 micrograms per liter of water, the article reported.
The new study set out to characterize the ecotoxicity of climbazole and found that even low concentrations can harm living things such as algae and fish, according to the article.
The study also found a "reduction of frond size in water lentils and shoot length in higher plants" caused by climbazole, the article noted.
