Abstract:
Benzophenone-3 is the most widely used benzophenone type UV filter, which is lipophilic, light stable and bioaccumulative. Benzophenone-3 is widely present in environmental waters and can be detected in humans. Its potential toxicity (especially endocrine disruption) has attracted people's attention. There are a lot of related data on the exposure of benzophenone-3 in the environment and humans from foreign literatures, but there are few studies on related aspects in China. In the view of widespread presence of benzophenone-3 and its endocrine disruption, future researches should focus on its potential toxicity to the population including endocrine disruption and the mechanisms.
