Synthetic musk compounds and benzotriazole ultraviolet stabilizers in breast milk: Occurrence, time–course variation and infant health risk

Urban sources of synthetic musk compounds to the environment

“…Most studies on SMCs have focused on NMs and PCMs with fewer conducted on MCMs. 1,30,31 NMs and PCMs have been reported in indoor dust, 1,[32][33][34] indoor air, 32,35,36 outdoor air, [37][38][39][40][41][42] biota; 43-48 surface waters; 37,41,49-51 sea water, 37 sediments, 52 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs); [53][54][55] drinking water, 56 human adipose tissue, 45,57,58 breast milk, 31,[59][60][61] and serum. 59,62 The potential for SMCs to undergo long-range transport is debatable.…”

Environmental fates of synthetic musks in animal and plant: An in vivo study

“…Synthetic musks (SMs), which are emerging contaminants and endocrine disruptors, have caused great concern for wildlife and human health (Dodson et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2015). Given their extensive use and discharge, SMs have inevitably entered the aquatic environment and reached detectable levels worldwide (Susan and Thomas, 2014).…”

Degradation of Benzotriazole UV Stabilizers in PAA/d-Electron Metal Ions Systems—Removal Kinetics, Products and Mechanism Evaluation

“…BUVs were also determined in PM10 outdoor air, from industrial areas in Tarragona, Spain [ 26 ]. Benzotriazoles trends to accumulate in the tissues of living organisms [ 22 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ] and were detected in human breast milk [ 32 , 33 , 34 ]. Exposure to benzotriazoles via food packaging seems insignificant but is, potentially, harmful.…”
