AB  - The global surge in disinfection practices from the COVID-19 response has raised 
      concerns about the marine exposure to the hazardous ingredients in disinfectant 
      products, including triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC). However, there are 
      very limited studies on the response of marine TCS and TCC (TCs) loading to the 
      COVID-19 pandemic. Here we used cetaceans as bio-indicators for a long-term 
      retrospective analysis of TCs loading to the South China Sea (SCS) between 2004 
      and 2022. Hepatic TCs was 100% detected in all nine cetacean species (n = 120). 
      Interestingly, TCS concentrations decreased in Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins 
      (IPHD) before the pandemic from 2010 to 2017. However, after 2019, TCS 
      concentrations in IPHD significantly increased several-fold. Similarly, 
      post-pandemic TCS concentrations in Indo-Pacific finless porpoises (IPFP) and two 
      fish species were significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels. There were 
      significant relationships between thyroid hormones (THs) and TCs in IPHD and 
      IPFP, suggesting that increased TCs may worsen the interference of THs 
      homeostasis and nutritional conditions in cetaceans. These findings demonstrate 
      the profound impact of the surging use of TCs-containing products from the 
      COVID-19 response on marine ecosystems.
