“…Organic UV-filters absorb UV radiation and the absorbed energy produces an excited state of the molecule, giving it higher energy content. The excess of energy is dissipated by emission of higher wavelengths or relaxation by photochemical processes, for example isomerisation and heat release (Abdelraheem et al, 2015).…”

“…At some point, the majority of cosmetic products will find their way into wastewater (due to bathing and washing activities) and consequently into rivers, lakes and ocean, so it is not surprising that UV-filters are found in the environment (Abdelraheem et al, 2015;Duirk et al, 2013). A schematic of the major pathways of UV-filters in the environment was presented by Giokas et al (2007) and can be completed with the understanding of the urban water cycle presented by Pal et al (2014).…”

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.

“…The misunderstanding can underestimate the mixtures' toxic effects, which can pose a threat to public health. Most evaluation methods are based on an individual substance's toxicity rather than on a whole mixture of various substances (Abdelraheem et al, 2015;Backhaus and Faust, 2012;Buckley and Farraj, 2015;Herzog et al, 2013;Marcone et al, 2012;Nabeshi et al, 2011;Nazarenko et al, 2012;Rider et al, 2013). Pesticides for agriculture (Bussy et al, 2015;Jang et al, 2014b;Seiber et al, 2014), industrial products for consumers ( Alvarez et al, 2009;El-Didamony et al, 2013;Mastella et al, 2014;Misik et al, 2014), and by-products from the automobile and electronic industries (Feng et al, 2015;Snow et al, 2014) are introduced into ecosystems in mixture forms.…”
