Organic UV filters are emerging contaminants with increasing evidence of their negative impact on environmental health and water quality. One of the most common and environmentally relevant organic UV filters is oxybenzone (OBZ). While much of the initial focus has been on investigating the interaction of OBZ with coral reefs, there have been several recent studies that indicate that organic UV filters are affecting other environmental endpoints, including marine animals, algae, and plants. OBZ has been found to bioaccumulate in marine animals such as fish and mussels and then potentially acting as an endocrine disruptor. In plants, exposure to OBZ has been associated with decreased photosynthesis, inhibited seed germination, and impaired plant growth. In this review, we summarize the current state of knowledge regarding the environmental impacts of OBZ and suggest potential future directions.
有机紫外线过滤剂是新兴污染物，越来越多的证据表明它们对环境健康和水质有负面影响。最常见且与环境相关的有机紫外线过滤剂之一是氧苯酮（OBZ）。虽然最初的大部分重点都放在研究OBZ与珊瑚礁的相互作用上，但最近有几项研究表明，有机紫外线过滤剂正在影响其他环境指标，包括海洋动物、藻类和植物。已发现OBZ会在鱼类和贻贝等海洋动物体内生物累积，然后可能充当内分泌干扰物。在植物中，接触OBZ与光合作用下降、种子萌发受抑制以及植物生长受损有关。在本综述中，我们总结了关于OBZ环境影响的当前知识状况，并提出了潜在的未来研究方向。
