“…The outcomes of the D. magna reproduction tests (Table 2) reflected that the bibliographic results generally fell within the same range as our data; for example, in EHMC, our results came close to those found by Sieratowicz et al (2011), where NOEC for 21 days for reproduction was 0.04 mg/l. In other cases, such as methylparaben and propylparaben, the LOEC for 7 days obtained by Dobbins et al (2009) was in line with our NOEC for 21 days.…”

“…Finally, the feeding inhibition assay results for OC, AHTN and 4-MBC could explain how the effects on reproduction might be produced by general toxic stress caused by pollutants. In the particular case of 4-MBC, and as described above, the increase in the number of offspring produced at 30 and 60 μg/l could be related to feeding inhibition (NOEC 60 μg/l), as could the NOEC of 100 μg/l, based on the reduced parent size, which has been found in the literature (Sieratowicz et al 2011).…”

“…In the work of Sieratowicz et al (2011), the NOEC for 21 days was 100 μg/l, based on a decrease in the length of the parental animals, although the number of released neonates was not significantly affected. On the other hand, the study of Fent et al (2010) showed a negative effect on reproduction at 50 μg/l, estimating thus a NOEC 21 days for reproduction of 20 μg/l.…”

This work presents the toxicity results of different compounds classified as emerging contaminants on primary producers and primary consumers in the aquatic compartment. The objectives were to (1) obtain acute and chronic toxicity results for algae and Daphnia magna using standardised or currently used tests, (2) study the relationship between the effects on the impaired feeding rate for daphnia and the effects of reproduction and (3) examine the responses on daphnia and algae after binary combinations of environmentally relevant compounds and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). Toxicity data on personal care products (PCPs), not reported in the scientific literature up to now, are presented. The results confirmed that the Daphnia feeding bioassay can be a sensitive, ecologically relevant endpoint to detect sublethal effects and could complement the information obtained with the reproduction test on Daphnia. The results also suggested that the concomitant occurrence of PFOS and other emerging contaminants in the aquatic compartment could affect the toxicity of some compounds according to their lipophilicity.

“…Acute toxicity levels (48 h LC 50 ) of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-BP and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-5-sulfonic acid-BP on Daphnia magna were determined as 1.9 mg/L and 50 mg/L, respectively (Fent et al, 2010). The 48 h EC 50 of 2,4-dihydroxy-BP on Acarti tonsa was 2.6 mg/L (Kusk et al, 2011), whereas the 72 h IC 10 of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-BP on Demodesmus subspicatus was 0.56 mg/L (Sieratowicz et al, 2011). Currently, estrogenic activities (Schlumpf et al, 2004;Suzuki et al, 2005) and developmental effects (Weisbrod et al, 2007) of BP-type UV filters were focused on 4,4-dihydroxy-BP, 2,4-dihydroxy-BP and 2,2′,4,4′-tetrahydroxy-BP, which exhibited estrogenic and additional hormonal activities in vitro .…”

a b s t r a c tBenzophenones (BPs) are widely used in UV filters, fragrance enhancers, and plastic additives. In this study, the genotoxicity of 14 BPs was tested using the SOS/umu assay, and the related substituent contribution was disclosed. The results of this study revealed that the major contributor to the genotoxicity of the BPs was the ortho,para-di-substitution, and the increasing hydroxy substitution on the benzene ring. In addition, the higher the dispersion of the substituent species on the two benzene rings, the lower the genotoxicity exhibited by the compound. Furthermore, 2 dimensional and 3 dimenional quantitative structure-activity relationships (2D-and 3D-QSAR) studies indicated that hydrogen-bond interactions and electrostatic effects were determinants for the genotoxicity of the BPs. The current results provide useful information for the assessment of the potential ecological risk and health effects of BP-type UV filters.

“…The reason why these compounds are under scope is related to their toxicity and adverse effects like the known estrogenic effects on biota and humans (Schlumpf et al, 2004;Bester, 2007;Weisbrod et al, 2007;Sieratowicz et al, 2011;Kaiser et al, 2012;Paredes et al, 2014). These effects have already been systematically described by Díaz-Cruz and Barceló (2009) and they include estrogenic activities in vitro , maximum effects on cell proliferation by EMC, ODP, 4-MBC and HMS (Ciszmas et al, 2008), induction of transcriptional activation of human estrogenic receptor α (hERα) and β (hERβ) by BP3, BMDM, EMC, ODP, 4-MBC and HMS (Schreurs et al, 2002).…”

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.
