Occurrence of ABS in Water Supplies: Joint Discussion
The Association of American Soap and Glycerine Producers (AASGP), New York, initiated a study in 1955 of traces of alkyl benzene sulfonate (ABS) found in rivers and public water supplies through the use of household detergents. ABS is the sodium salt of commercial sulfonated dodecylbenzene and is the most commonly used synthetic surface‐active agent in formulated household synthetic detergents. A technical subcommittee was formed in 1959 to establish quantitatively the concentrations of ABS that may be present in municipal drinking water supplies. With the use of recognized surveys, a study was prepared of the normal varieties of drinking water supplies in 32 cities throughout the United States. The selection of test cities was based on raw water source, location, treatment method, and population. The cities chosen represent roughly one‐eighth of the population of the United States.
