“…The facilities that have been studied this way include chemical plants, steel plants, power plants, petrochemical extraction areas, waste incinerators, sewage treatment plants, and landlls. The target chemicals are oen focused on the SVOCs that are expected to be emitted by the studied facility, for example combustion-related SVOCs such as PCDD/Fs, PCBs, PCNs from municipal waste incinerators, 236,285,286 volatile PFAS, VMS and musk compounds from waste water treatment plants 144, 287,288 or parent PAHs and alkyl-PAHs in the oilsands region of Alberta, Canada 247 and in the vicinity of natural gas extraction wells. 69 With more than 30 studies, networks of PASs across urban areas are very common (Table 14).…”

“…As mentioned before, to the authors' best knowledge, no information regarding the UVFs detection in soils (at least the ones under scrutiny) is available in the literature, but only some information on SMCs can be found [33][34][35]. SMCs have been detected in industrial soils in concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 5.24 ng/g [33], in urban areas from not detected to 2.87 ng/g [33,35] and in agricultural soils in concentrations similar to this study ranging from <0.07 to 7.22 ng/g [33]. The concentrations found in these studies are of the same order of magnitude as those found in the present study.…”

A simple method for the analysis of 13 synthetic musk compounds and six ultraviolet filters in soil samples was developed using a modified dispersive solid‐phase methodology known as “Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe,” followed by gas chromatography–triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. The methodology was validated by assessing linearity ranges, detection limits, precision, and accuracy. The method detection limit ranged between 0.01 and 10.00 ng/g dry weight and accuracy from 81 to 122%. A good precision was achieved, with relative standard deviation <10%. The applicability of the methodology was tested using different types of soils. Both synthetic musks and ultraviolet filters were detected in all soil samples. The most frequently detected compounds were benzophenone, octocrylene, 2‐ethylhexyl 4‐dimethylaminobenzoate, 2‐ethylhexyl 4–methoxycinnamate, and galaxolide. Higher levels were detected for benzophenone (maximum value of 158 ng/g dry weight) and octocrylene (137 ng/g dry weight). In comparison with conventional techniques, this method uses lower amounts of solvents and sorbents, producing less waste (“greener” technique) and comparable performances. In addition, it presents as main advantages the simplicity, speed (short extraction/cleaning time), low cost, and minimum handling of extracts, which can minimize the possibility of samples cross‐contamination.

“…Synthetic musk compounds (SMCs) are semi-volatile cyclic organic compounds that are added to various consumer products including shampoo, soaps, body lotion, deodorants, cleansing agents, fish bait. These compounds are also used as food additives and fragrance materials such as air fresheners and perfumes [149]. Based on their physiochemical properties, SMCs are categorized into four group's namely polycyclic musks, nitro-musks (first-ever commercially available SMCs), alicyclic musks and macrocyclic musks [150].…”

The Beast of Beauty: Environmental and Health Concerns of Toxic Components in Cosmetics

Cosmetic products are used in large quantities across the world. An increasing number of chemical compounds are being added to the formulation of cosmetic products as additives, fragrances, preservatives, stabilizers, surfactants, dye and shine to potentiate their quality, property and shelf life. Owing to their widespread use, active residues of cosmetic products are continuously introduced into the environment in several ways. Many of these chemicals are bioactive and are characterized by potential bioaccumulation ability and environmental persistence, thus exerting a major risk to humans and the health of ecosystems. Hence, the indiscriminate consumption of cosmetics may present a looming issue with significant adverse impacts on public health. This review intends to spotlight a current overview of toxic ingredients used in formulating cosmetics such as parabens, triclosan, benzalkonium chloride, 1,4-dioxane, plastic microbeads, formaldehyde, diazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea, sunscreen elements (organic and inorganic UV filters) and trace metals. Specific focus is given to illustrate the biological risks of these substances on human health and aquatic system in terms of genotoxicity, cytotoxicity, neurotoxicity mutagenicity, and estrogenicity. In addition to conclusive remarks, future directions are also suggested.
