Abstract in brief

This study analyzed urine samples from the 2003-2004 US population to measure triclosan, a chemical used in many consumer products, finding it present in about 75% of samples, with higher levels in young adults and those from higher-income households.
The concentrations of triclosan varied with age and socioeconomic status, showing the highest levels in people in their 20s and those with the highest household incomes, but there were no significant differences based on race or sex.
Overall, the findings suggest widespread exposure to triclosan among Americans during this period, especially among certain age groups and income levels.]
