“…However, the recent studies have found that parabens may negatively affect the endocrine system, and therefore they are classified as endocrine disruptors [ 1 , 2 ]. Moreover, parabens show cytotoxic and genotoxic activities and may negatively affect various internal systems, including among others reproductive, immune and nervous systems [ 10 – 12 ]. In addition, some observations have confirmed connections between exposure to parabens and obesity, allergies, inflammatory processes, developmental diseases and cancer [ 5 , 13 – 15 ].…”

Parabens are compounds widely utilized in the industry as preservative additives to personal care products, cosmetics and food. They pollute the environment and penetrate to the living organisms through the digestive tract, respiratory system and skin. Till now the knowledge about exposure of terrestrial wild mammals to parabens is extremely scarce. Therefore, this study for the first time assessed the concentration levels of five parabens commonly used in industry (methylparaben—MeP, ethylparaben—EtP propylparaben–PrP, benzylparaben -BeP and butylparaben–BuP). Substances have been analyzed in hair samples collected from wild boars using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method. The hair is a matrix, which allows to study long-term exposure of organisms to parabens. During this study MeP was noted in 96.3% of samples with mean 88.3±72.9 pg/mg, PrP in 87.0% of samples with mean 8.5±3.3 pg/mg, BeP in 44.4% of samples with mean 17.2±12.3 pg/mg and EtP in 11.1% of samples with mean 17.2±4.8 pg/mg. In turn BuP was noted only in 3.7% of samples with concentration levels below limit of quantification (2.6 pg/mg). Statistically significant intragender differences in parabens levels have not been noted. Only BeP concentration levels depended on industrialization and density of human population of area, where the animals lived. This study indicates that wild boars are exposed to parabens, especially to MeP and PrP, and analysis of the hair seems to be a useful tool of biomonitoring of parabens in wild mammals.

“…There is some evidence to support the claims that certain aluminium compounds are neurotoxic, irritate the skin, and interact with estrogen, which raises the risk of breast cancer [11,12]. Deodorants also include heavy metals, which can contribute to pollution, in addition to organic compounds.…”

Deodorants are frequently used personal care products; however, questions have been raised concerning their possible toxicity to cause air and water pollution, and their potential impact on human health. The degree to which deodorant ingredients, such as fragrance chemicals, antibacterial compounds, aluminium compounds, and preservatives, are toxic depends on their chemical composition. Many of these chemicals have been connected to adverse health effects, such as skin rashes, allergic reactions, endocrine disruption, and respiratory problems. Understanding these chemicals’ toxicity is crucial for determining any potential risks to human health. Spray formulations have the potential to release volatile organic compounds into the air, such as propellants and fragrance chemicals, which can be harmful to human respiratory health and lead to indoor and outdoor air pollution. Improper disposal and wastewater treatment can lead to the contamination of water bodies, potentially impacting aquatic ecosystems and human water supplies. This review provides an overview of the toxicity of deodorant ingredients in various formulations, including sprays, roll-ons, and sticks. The partition coefficients Log Kaw (air-water partition coefficient), Log Koa (airorganic carbon partition coefficient), and Log Kow (octanol-water partition coefficient), values of deodorant ingredients were summarized for assessing their potential for long-range transport, persistence in the environment, and bioaccumulation in organisms.

“…Due to their usage, products like colognes, perfumes, or fragrances expose humans to their components, potentially causing skin reactions, allergies, or other adverse effects. Some research has suggested that specific phthalates might lead to negative health impacts, such as endocrine disruption and reproductive toxicity [1,2]. Phthalates belong to a category of chemical compounds employed in the production of scented items like colognes and perfumes for various reasons [3,4].…”
