Personal care products (PCPs) are part of the large and growing family of emerging contaminants (ECs). Many daily products such as sunscreens, toothpaste, make-up products, perfume, and others, fall under this definition, and their use is increasing exponentially. Furthermore, the degradation of some components of these products is limited. Indeed, they are able to easily reach and accumulate in aquatic systems, representing a new class of contaminants. Moreover, due to their chemical properties, they can interfere at different biological levels, and for this reason, they need to be thoroughly investigated. We have reviewed the literature on PCPs, with a special focus on the adverse effects on the freshwater zebrafish (Danio rerio). The aim of this work is to provide a careful assessment of the toxicity of these compounds, in order to raise awareness for more conscious and responsible use.
个人护理产品(PCPs)是新兴污染物(ECs)大家族中的一部分。许多日常用品,如防晒霜、牙膏、化妆品、香水等,都属于这一定义,而且它们的使用量正在呈指数级增长。此外,这些产品的某些成分的降解是有限的。事实上,它们很容易进入并在水生系统中积累,代表了一类新型污染物。此外,由于它们的化学性质,它们可以在不同的生物学水平上产生干扰,因此需要对它们进行深入研究。我们回顾了有关 PCPs 的文献,特别关注它们对淡水斑马鱼(Danio rerio)的不良影响。这项工作的目的是对这些化合物的毒性进行仔细评估,以提高人们对更有意识和负责任地使用这些化合物的认识。
