TLDR
Proabilistic risk assessment showed that 4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC) posed greater risk to algae, while benzophenone-3 (BP-3) and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (EHMC) were more likely to pose a risk to fishes and also posed high risk of bleaching in hard corals in aquatic recreational areas in Hong Kong.About:

A review on environmental monitoring of water organic pollutants identified by EU guidelines
TL;DR: Most frequent substances as well as those found at highest concentrations in different seasons and regions, together with available risk assessment data, may be useful to identify possible future PS candidates.

Advances in analytical methods and occurrence of organic UV-filters in the environment — A review
TL;DR: It has been concluded that more information regarding UV-filter degradation studies both in water and sediments is necessary and environmental occurrences should be monitored more frequently and deeply.

Environmental effects of ozone depletion and its interactions with climate change: progress report, 2011
TL;DR: The parties to the Montreal Protocol are informed by three panels of experts, one of which is the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP), which deals with two focal issues, the effects of increased UV radiation on human health, animals, plants, biogeochemistry, air quality, and materials and interactions between UV radiation and global climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of organic UV-filters in wastewater treatment plants.
TL;DR: This review, aims to provide the current state of the art in the occurrence and fate of UV-filters in wastewater treatment plants and how the technologies that are being used are successfully removing these compounds from both wastewater and sludge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of environmental effects of oxybenzone and other sunscreen active ingredients.
TL;DR: It is important for dermatologists to continue to emphasize the public health impact of excessive sun exposure and advise patients about proper photoprotection practice, which consists of seeking shade, wearing Photoprotective clothing (including hats and sunglasses), and applying appropriate sunscreens.

Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental risk assessment of pharmaceutical residues in wastewater effluents, surface waters and sediments.
TL;DR: RQ was applied as a novel approach to estimate the environmental risk of pharmaceuticals that are most frequently detected in wastewater effluents, surface waters and sediments and its continuous introduction in the environment may make them "pseudopersistents".
Journal ArticleDOI
The occurrence of pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine disruptors and illicit drugs in surface water in South Wales, UK.
TL;DR: Most PPCPs were frequently found in river water at concentrations reaching single microgL(-1) and their levels depended mainly on the extent of water dilution resulting from rainfall, while the illicit drugs studied were found in rivers at low levels of ng L(-1).

Sunscreens Cause Coral Bleaching by Promoting Viral Infections
Roberto Danovaro,Lucia Bongiorni,Cinzia Corinaldesi,Donato Giovannelli,Elisabetta Damiani,Paola Astolfi,Lucedio Greci,Antonio Pusceddu +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that sunscreens, by promoting viral infection, potentially play an important role in coral bleaching in areas prone to high levels of recreational use by humans.
