“…Also, it has been demonstrated that BP3 can be absorbed through the skin but the effects of elevated systemic BP3 concentrations in humans are still unclear (Suh et al, 2020). BP3 has been shown to be toxic in several species used for toxicological testing including fish, corals and algae (see recent review and references therein (Lozano et al, 2020)). Thus, the toxicity of BP3 combined with the possibility of bioaccumulation indicates that BP3 might pose an ecological risk (Díaz-Cruz et al, 2019).…”

Benzophenone-3 (BP3) is a widely used organic UV filter present in many environmental compartments. One way BP3 is released into the environment is through effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). These plants are possible sources for degradation activity as WWTP sludge can potentially degrade BP3. Our goal was to identify the BP3 degrading microorganism(s) in WWTP sludge and to investigate whether the degradation was co-metabolic. Initial WWTP sludge microcosms spiked with BP3 showed 100% degradation after 20 days. Multiple 2 transfers of these microcosms, while maintaining a strong selective pressure for BP3 degradation capabilities, resulted in the dominance of one bacterial strain. This strain, Sphingomonas wittichii BP14P was subsequently isolated and shown to degrade BP3 in a growth dependent manner. Strain BP14P utilized BP3 as the sole energy and carbon source and completely degraded BP3 after 7 days in minimal media. We tested the capability of BP14P to degrade nine other UV filters, but the degradation ability seemed to be restricted to BP3. However, whether this specificity is due to the lack of degradation genes, cellular transport or low bioavailability of the other UV filters remained unclear. The efficient degradation of BP3 by a group of bacteria well known for their potential for xenobiotic degradation is an important step forward for a complete risk assessment of the long-term environmental impact of BP3.

It should be noted that most toxicological studies on organic UV filters were conducted on BP3, EMC and 4-MBC [7]. BP3 and EMC have been banned in Hawaii and Key West, Florida The Republic of Palau and U.S Virgin Islands have also banned these two UV-filters, as well as OC.…”

“…In 2016, 60 different UV filters were reported on the market; these compounds are subject to different regulations around the world [ 4 ]. UV filters are regularly detected in various aquatic environmental compartments, including lakes, rivers, surface marine waters and sediments [ 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Some UV filters have been investigated more than others in occurrence studies, such as benzophenone-3 (BP3), ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (EMC), octocrylene (OC) and 4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC).…”

“…Some UV filters have been investigated more than others in occurrence studies, such as benzophenone-3 (BP3), ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (EMC), octocrylene (OC) and 4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC). In marine coastal waters, most of the filters occur at concentrations in the range of 0.1–10 µg/L [ 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Concentrations as high as 1.4 mg/L was reported for BP3 in the U.S. Virgin Islands’ coastal waters [ 8 ].…”

The presence of pharmaceutical and personal care product (PPCP) residues in the aquatic environment is an emerging issue due to their uncontrolled release through gray water, and accumulation in the environment that may affect living organisms, ecosystems and public health. The aim of this study is to assess the toxicity of benzophenone-3 (BP-3), bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT), butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane (BM), methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol (MBBT), 2-ethylhexyl salicylate (ES), diethylaminohydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate (DHHB), diethylhexyl butamido triazone (DBT), ethylhexyl triazone (ET), homosalate (HS) and octocrylene (OC) on marine organisms from two major trophic levels, including autotrophs (Tetraselmis sp.) and heterotrophs (Artemia salina). In general, results showed that both HS and OC were the most toxic UV filters for our tested species, followed by a significant effect of BM on Artemia salina due to BM—but only at high concentrations (1 mg/L). ES, BP3 and DHHB affected the metabolic activity of the microalgae at 100 µg/L. BEMT, DBT, ET, MBBT had no effect on the tested organisms, even at high concentrations (2 mg/L). OC toxicity represents a risk for those species, since concentrations used in this study are 15–90 times greater than those reported in occurrence studies for aquatic environments. For the first time in the literature, we report HS toxicity on a microalgae species at concentrations complementing those found in aquatic environments. These preliminary results could represent a risk in the future if concentrations of OC and HS continue to increase.

Background: UV filters are toxic to marine bacteria that dominate the marine biomass. Ecotoxicology often studies the organismal response but rarely integrates deciphers the toxicity mechanisms at the molecular level. In this study, in silico comparative genomic between UV filters sensitive and resistant bacteria were conducted in order to unravel the genes responsible for a resistance phenotype. The genomes of two environmentally relevant Bacteroidetes and three Firmicutes species were compared through pairwise comparisonResults: Larger genomes were carried by bacteria exhibiting a resistant phenotype, favoring their ability to adapt to environmental stresses. While the antitoxin and CRISPR systems were the only distinctive features in resistant Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes displayed multiple unique genes that could support the difference between sensitive and resistant phenotypes.Conclusion: Several genes involved in ROS response, vitamin biosynthesis, xenobiotic degradation, multidrug resistance, xenobiotic degradation, and lipophilic compound permeability were shown to be exclusive to resistant species. Our investigation contributes to a better understanding of the molecular basis of UV filters resistance phenotypes.
