“…In New Zealand, BP3 was detected in samples of clams (108 ng/g-dw), urchins (8.6 ng/g-dw) and fish (14.1 in the fillet and 41.0 ng/g-dw in the liver), but BP1 was not detected in either sample (Emnet et al, 2015). Samples of wild mussels (M. galloprovincialis) from Portugal were studied by Groz et al (2014) and high levels were detected for EMC (1765 ng/g-dw), ODP (833 ng/g-dw) and OC (3992 ng/g-dw); however, compound UV-326 was not detected.…”

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.

“…Pressures from pollution were assessed using global models for chemical pollutants, nutrients and trash and local models for pathogen pollution, where the only major source of pathogens to Antarctic waters is from scientific research bases and ships (Tin et al, 2009;Martins et al, 2012;Corbett et al, 2014Corbett et al, , 2015Emnet et al, 2015). The volume of wastewater inputs and pathogen contamination in the Antarctic is small relative to many more populated coastal ocean regions.…”

“…Some data are available indicating elevated pathogen levels and other contaminants near some Antarctic bases (Tin et al, 2009) and near wastewater outfalls (Martins et al, 2012;Corbett et al, 2014Corbett et al, , 2015Emnet et al, 2015). ATS regulations require stations with more than 30 residents to treat wastewater.…”

“…Among them, solid-phase extraction (SPE) is most commonly used for the extraction of these target analytes from aqueous samples [1,2,7,[9][10][11]. However, the sample loading step for a cartridge SPE requires a relatively long period of time, irrespective of whether the loading is performed by gravity flow or pressure/vacuum-assisted.…”

“…Due to their excessive use, they are now present in a wide variety of environmental samples, including in swimming pool and surface water [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], wastewater [2,[6][7][8]11], sea water [12], fish [1,13], and have even been detected in various human specimens, such as urine, breast milk, serum/blood and placental tissue, as recently reviewed by Jiménez-Díaz et al [14]. Moreover, benzophenone-type UV absorbers have been reported to have the potential to function as endocrine disrupters in various organisms [15][16][17], and could result in negative effects in humans [18].…”
