Abstract

33

Triclocarban is widely used as an antibacterial agent in personal care products, and the

34

potential for human exposure exists. We present here the first nationally representative

35

assessment of exposure to triclocarban among Americans ≥ 6 years of age who

36

participated in the 2013–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We

37

detected triclocarban at concentrations above 0.1 µg/L in 36.9% of 2,686 urine samples

38

examined. Triclocarban was detected more frequently in adolescents and adults than in

39

children, and in non-Hispanic black compared to other ethnic groups. In univariate

40

analysis, log-creatinine, sex, age, race, and body surface area (BSA) were significantly

41

associated with the likelihood of having triclocarban concentrations above the 95th

42

percentile. In multiple regression models, persons with BSA at or above the median

43

(≥1.86 m2) were 2.43 times more likely than others, and non-Hispanic black and non-

44

Hispanic white were 3.71 times and 2.23 times more likely than “all Hispanic,”

45

respectively, to have urinary concentrations above the 95th percentile. We found no

46

correlations between urinary concentrations of triclocarban and triclosan, another

47

commonly used antibacterial agent. Observed differences among demographic groups

48

examined may reflect differences in physiological factors (i.e., BSA) as well as use of

49

personal care products containing triclocarban.

Introduction 3, 4, 4’-Trichlorocarbanilide (triclocarban) is used as an antibacterial agent in a

53

variety of consumer and personal care products including bar soap, detergent, deodorant,

54

shaving cream, and shampoo (1-3). Several studies listed triclocarban as active

55

ingredient in about 85% of antibacterial bar soaps examined in the US market, with levels

56

ranging between 0.5 percent (or 0.005 g/g) and 1.5 percent (or 0.015 g/g) (4, 5). Triclocarban

57

is also used in cleansing preparations in hospitals and other medical settings where the

58

potential risk for the transmission of infections is high (3).

59

Human exposure to triclocarban occurs mainly through dermal contact; inhalation

60

of triclocarban-containing dust and ingestion of triclocarban contaminated water and food

61

may also occur (6, 7). The potential adverse health effects of triclocarban in humans are

62

still largely unknown, but previous studies suggested that triclocarban could act as an

63

endocrine disruptor, both in cell-based assays and in rats (8-14) and induced breast cell

64

pre-malignancy as a co-carcinogen (15). The reference dose in humans, calculated using

65

the no adverse effect level from a 2 year chronic toxicity rat study, is 0.025 mg kg bw-1 d

66

(16). Epidemiologic data are limited to one study—to evaluate prenatal exposure to

67

triclocarban, triclosan and parabens and potential adverse birth outcomes in an immigrant

68

population of mothers and their neonates—which reported suggestive associations (albeit

69

no longer present in sensitivity analyses) for triclocarban (17). Furthermore, recent

70

studies suggested that triclocarban could potentially contribute to bacterial resistance to

71

antibiotics (18).

72 73

Early research on the metabolism of triclocarban in rats indicated that the major biliary and fecal metabolites were free and conjugated triclocarban and 2’-hydroxy-

4 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

74

triclocarban (19, 20). In a previous study, we also identified free and conjugated

75

triclocarban, 3’-hydroxy-triclocarban, and 2’-hydroxy-triclocarban as the major urine and

76

serum metabolites in Sprague Dawley rats (21). Data on the metabolism of triclocarban

77

in humans also exist (22-24). In a group of six healthy volunteers, after taking a shower

78

with commercial 0.6% triclocarban containing soap, N-glucuronide triclocarban was the

79

major urinary metabolite (24). Therefore, concentrations of urinary species of

80

triclocarban have been used as valid biomarkers of exposure (21, 25-32).

81

Because of the well-known use of triclocarban in personal care and consumer

82

products and the environmental persistence of this chemical, triclocarban has been

83

detected in the environment (6, 7, 33-36) and the potential for human exposure to this

84

chemical exists. Of interest, however, exposure to triclocarban in the United States may

85

change in the future. In September 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

86

issued a final rule establishing that triclocarban and 18 other active ingredients used in

87

over-the-counter antiseptic wash products (e.g., hand washes, body washes) can no

88

longer be marketed (37). To increase the understanding of the extent of exposure to

89

triclocarban and to set reference ranges which may be used to evaluate whether FDA’s

90

rule impacts exposure to triclocarban in the future, we measured the urinary

91

concentrations of triclocarban in participants of the 2013–2014 National Health and

92

Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We also examined the associations between

93

sociodemographic and physiological factors and triclocarban concentrations.

Materials and Methods NHANES, conducted annually since 1999 by the National Center for Health

97

Statistics (NCHS) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is an

98

ongoing survey designed to measure the health and nutritional status of the civilian

99

noninstitutionalized U.S. population (38). The survey includes household interviews,

100

standardized physical examinations, and collection of medical histories and biologic

101

specimens, some of which are used to assess exposure to environmental chemicals (38).

(0.293 µg/g creatinine) (Table 1). We also detected triclocarban more frequently among
