Canada is intending to publish a risk management for triclosan in November 2018. According to a spokesperson for both Environment and Climate change in Canada, a final instrument is expected by May 2020.
The newly revised version will incorporate the comments that were released in November of 2016. Canada let a risk assessment that stated triclosan was not harmful to human health, but is harmful to the environment.
