Usage

General Description

2',3,5-TRICHLORO-4-HYDROXYACETANILIDE, also known as triclocarban, is a chemical compound that is commonly used as an antibacterial agent in personal care products such as soaps and lotions. It acts by inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the skin and is particularly effective against gram-positive bacteria. Triclocarban has been found to persist in the environment and has been detected in wastewater, surface water, and sediment. There is also concern about its potential for bioaccumulation and impact on aquatic organisms. Studies have shown that triclocarban may contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, raising further environmental and public health concerns. As a result, its use in consumer products has been restricted in some countries.
