Occurrence and risks of triclosan and triclocarban in the Pearl River system, South China: From source to the receiving environment

“…Triclosan (TCS; 5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichloro-phenoxy)-phenol) and triclocarban (TCC; N-(4-chlorophenyl)-N- (3,4-dichlorophenyl) urea) are two antimicrobial agents commonly used in many personal care products, including hand disinfecting soaps, kitchen detergents, body washes, toothpastes and medical disinfectants [1,2]. These products normally contain 0.1-2% of TCS or TCC by weight in their formula [3,4].…”

Determination of Triclosan in Aqueous Samples Using Solid-phase Extraction Followed by On-line Derivatization Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

“…Triclosan (TCS), 2,4,4-trichloro-2-hydroxydiphenyl ether, has been extensively used as an antibacterial agent in formulations of dental care products, cosmetics, detergents, and other household products. [1][2][3][4] Methyltriclosan (MTCS) is a transformation product of TCS via a methylation process in the aquatic environment. 5 It has been detected worldwide in a variety of environmental samples, including indoor dust, surface water, and influents and effluents of municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWTPs), as well as sediment samples.…”

4-Nonylphenol, bisphenol-A and triclosan levels in human urine of children and students in China, and the effects of drinking these bottled materials on the levels

“…And TCS is used as an antimicrobial in some personal care products (e.g. toothpaste, cosmetics, skin care creams and lotions, soaps and dental products) (Jones et al, 2000;McAvoy et al, 2002;Tsai et al, 2008). These chemicals are known as endocrine disrupting compounds that may cause adverse effects on wildlife as well as human beings (Crain et al, 2007;Hunt et al, 2003;Yang et al, 2008;Ying, 2006).…”
