Abstract
This study selected representative popular bowls used in daily life and laboratory and investigated the amount of residual surfactant resided in the bowls that were dish-washed. The bowls were washed by a scourer soaking 8 mL-detergent and then rinsed by flowing water for 7 or 15 seconds. One hundred milliliter of distilled water was placed in the washed-bowls to extract residual surfactant on the bowl surface and then analysed. All washed-bowls included residual surfactant after 7 second-rinsing. Residual surfactant concentrations in Ttukbaegi (earthen bowl), flying pan, glass bowl, and plastic bowl were 4.68, 1.22, 0.57, and 0.25 mg/L, respectively. However, the 15 second-rinsing showed that surfactant was detected only in Ttukbaegi and other bowls were clean. The results showed that surfactant would reside on the porous or rough surface of the bowl even after final rinsing. This study imply that all bowls and glasses should be throughly rinsed after detergent-washing to reduce continuos ingestion. Furthermore, residual surfactant in the glassware of laboratory may significantly affect experiment results.
