The ubiquitous presence of emerging contaminants in the environment is an issue of great
concern. Notably, for some of them, no established regulation exists. Benzophenones are …

Numerous anthropogenic ultraviolet filters (UVF) have been detected in aquatic
environments and concerns have arisen regarding their potential impacts on aquatic …

The potential toxicity of microplastics (MPs) and UV filter Benzophenone-4 (BP4) to aquatic
organisms has caused widespread concern among the public. However, the combined …

Salt stress induces cytotoxicity at the cellular level, influencing the vacuolization process,
disrupting mitotic division, and thus inhibiting plant growth. The results for a range of species …

Pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) are emerging contaminants that pose a growing
concern due to their ubiquitous presence and harmful impact on aquatic ecosystems …

Physical and chemical parameters, if used in an isolated way, may not reflect the actual state
of water quality, nor the effect of contaminants on aquatic biota. Thus, biological tools have …

Oxybenzone, an environmental pollutant affecting both agriculture and aquatic ecological
integrity, has been demonstrated to act as a physiological and metabolic inhibitor on plants …

The wide application of benzophenones (BPs), such as benzophenone-3 (BP3), as an
ingredient in sunscreens, cosmetics, coatings, and plastics, has led to their global …

Benzophenones (BPs) are one of the most widely used UV-filters and previous flow
cytometric studies have shown that these aquatic emerging pollutants alter the physiology of …

UV filters are a class of emerging water pollutants used in cosmetics to protect the skin from
ultraviolet radiation. This work appraises the uptake of benzophenone-4 (BP-4), widely used …
