First Report on Bioaccumulation and Processing of Antibacterial Ingredient TCC in Fish

First Report on Bioaccumulation and Processing of Antibacterial Ingredient TCC in Fish
 
"In the first report on the uptake and internal processing of triclocarban (TCC) in fish, scientists have reported strong evidence that TCC -- an antibacterial ingredient in some soaps and the source of environmental health concerns because of its potential endocrine-disrupting effects -- has a "strong" tendency to bioaccumulate in fish. They presented the findings on March 31 at the 241st National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society in Anaheim, California."
