high concentrations of a toxic anti-bacterial chemical used in soaps, toothpaste and cleaning products, a new report says.

The tests, which involved several prominent Canadian artists, detected high concentrations of triclosan, a chemical linked to hormone disruption, liver damage and weakening of the immune system.

The report, by Environmental Defence Canada said the average levels of triclosan detected in urine samples from eight volunteers were higher than those listed by scientific studies as toxic to marine life. It is one of the first studies to indicate triclosan can potentially bioaccumulate in humans, even among those living in households where natural personal care products are used instead of anti-bacterial soaps, shampoos and skin care products.
