“…Although several extraction methodologies have been used to determine UV-filters in water, solid-phase extraction (SPE) is the most used (Table 1). Considering the extraction recovery yield, this method is often applied using commercial cartridges with monomerically bonded C18 silica sorbents (Tsui et al, 2014a). This type of sorbent is able to retain the major organic analytes from aqueous solution, but it is mostly used in the extraction of moderately polar to non-polar analytes from aqueous samples (Giokas et al, 2004;Goksoyr et al, 2009;Li et al, 2007;Tsui et al, 2014a).…”

“…However, Rodil et al (2012) used a more polar solvent, methanol (MeOH), which is justified by the complex mixture analysed, containing not only very polar UV-filters (like PBSA and BP4), but also other polar compounds like pharmaceuticals and herbicides. SPE is considered a good method, easy to perform and generally yields high recoveries, ranging 60 to 100% (Giokas et al, 2004;Goksoyr et al, 2009;Kameda et al, 2011;Li et al, 2007;Liu et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2011;Tsui et al, 2014a). In order to obtain a better clean-up, SPE is also used coupled to other clean-up techniques, as gel permeation chromatography (GPC) (Balmer et al, 2005) with recoveries ranging 78 -129%.…”

“…In sea water, apart from recreational activities and surface runoff, the major contributor to UVfilters occurrence is probably wastewater release into the ocean (incomplete removal of organic UVfilters in WWTPs) (Tsui et al, 2014a).…”

UV-filters are a group of compounds designed mainly to protect skin against UVA and UVB radiation, but they are also included in plastics, furniture, etc., to protect products from light damage. Their massive use in sunscreens for skin protection has been increasing due to the awareness of the chronic and acute effects of UV radiation. Some organic UV-filters have raised significant concerns in the past few years for their continuous usage, persistent input and potential threat to ecological environment and human health. UV-filters end up is wastewater and because wastewater treatment plants are not efficient in removing them, lipophilic compounds tend to sorb onto sludge and hydrophilics end up in river water, contaminating the existing biota. To better understand the risk associated with UV-filters in the environment a thorough review regarding their physicochemical properties, toxicity and environmental degradation, analytical methods and their occurrence was conducted.Higher UV-filter concentrations were found in rivers, reaching 0.3 mg/L for the most studied family, the benzophenone derivatives. Concentrations in the ng to µg/L range were also detected for the paminobenzoic acid, cinnamate, crylene and benzoyl methane derivatives in lake and sea water.Although at lower levels (few ng/L), UV-filters were also found in tap and groundwater. Swimming pool water is also a sink for UV-filters and its chlorine by-products, at the µg/L range, highlighting the benzophenone and benzimidazole derivatives. Soils and sediments are not frequently studied, but concentrations in the µg/L range have already been found especially for the benzophenone and crylene derivatives. Aquatic biota is frequently studied and UV-filters are found in the ng/g-dw range with higher values for fish and mussels. It has been concluded that more information regarding UVfilter degradation studies both in water and sediments is necessary and environmental occurrences should be monitored more frequently and deeply.

“…UV filters have been detected, for example, in surface waters such as seas, oceans and coastal waters [15][16][17], rivers [15,18], lakes [19,20,58], groundwater [59], and sediments [21]. Organic and inorganic UV filters will be discussed below separately because they raise distinct environmental and health issues.…”

Cosmetic Ingredients as Emerging Pollutants of Environmental and Health Concern. A Mini-Review

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cosmetic and personal care products are used in huge quantities throughout the world; as a result of their regular use, they are continuously released into the environment in very large amounts. Many of these products are biologically active and are characterized by persistence and bioaccumulation potential, posing a threat to ecosystem and human health. On the basis of the most recent scientific literature available on this subject, this paper provides an overview of some cosmetic ingredients that are considered environmental emerging pollutants of particular concern such as UV filters, some preservatives (parabens, triclosan), and microplastics.

“…Recent research shows that UV filters in sunscreen products in particular contribute to reduced vitality and thus resilience of coral ecosystems (Downs et al, 2016, Tsui et al, 2014. In brief, UV filters (especially oxybenzone) in sunscreens can have effects on coral bleaching, the induction of viral infections, DNA damage and deformities in coral larvae (planula) and thus reproductive success (e.g.…”
