optical brighteners

A broad classification of many synthetic chemicals that, when applied to clothing, convert UV light wavelengths to visible light, thus making laundered clothes appear "whiter." Optical brighteners do not readily biodegrade and are considered toxic to aquatic life and as such are often regulated and restricted by most environmental standards.
