TRICLOSAN
Triclosan, similar in its uses and mechanism of action to triclocarban, is an antibacterial and antifungal agent found in consumer products, including soaps, detergents, toys and surgical cleaning treatments. Its efficacy as an antimicrobial agent and the risk of bacterial resistance remains controversial. Additional research seeks to understand its potential effects on organisms and environmental health.
