“Water testing studies by the U.S. Geological Survey have found that
triclosan is among the top 10 persistent contaminants in U.S. rivers, streams, lakes, and underground aquifers."

And guess what mama's, it's in our breast milk....
"Of further concern, triclosan has been identified as a contaminant in umbilical cord samples collected by Greenpeace International and Britain's World Wifeline Fund. Furthermore,
surveys in Sweden have also identified triclosan in the breast milk of 60 percent of women tested."
Gravity filtration will not remove Triclosan from drinking water. However, reverse osmosis is among a select few technologies that are highly effective at removing not only Triclosan, but a wide array of other pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCP’s) and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC’s).
So there.
