Research Progress on Environmental Distribution and Toxicology of Com-monly Used Antibacterial Agents in Personal Care Products
Personal care products(PCPs)are a class of daily necessities in the life of people,including hand saniti-zers,laundry detergents,and household disinfectants.The main antibacterial components incorporated into PCPs in-clude triclosan(TCS),p-chloro-m-xylenol(PCMX),chlorhexidine(CHX),and quaternary ammonium compounds(QACs).These antibacterial agents represent emerging pollutants that have been frequently detected in both the en-vironment and human bodies in recent years,thereby posing potential environmental and health risks.This review focuses on the antibacterial mechanisms,applications,detection and fate in the environment,toxic effects,and health risks of these four commonly used antibacterial agents,which provides a reference for further investigating the mechanisms underlying the toxic effects of antimicrobial agents in PCPs and assessing associated health risks.
