Abstract:
Ultraviolet (UV) absorbers are chemical substances that are widely used as defenses against the damaging effects of solar radiations. UV absorbers, despite their benefits, are categorized as emerging pollutants because they have been demonstrated to be mutagenic, toxic, pseudo-persistent, bio-accumulative, and to have strong estrogenic effects. Because of their common use in personal care products, they continue to enter the environment. Several food samples, particularly those derived from aquatic sources, have been found to be contaminated with these compounds. Toxic effects on aquatic life, such as metabolic imbalance and developmental toxicity, result from the continued presence of UV absorbers in aquatic bodies. In addition, the degree of exposure to these pollutants in foods should be examined because there are certain risks associated with their consumption by humans. Therefore, this review focuses on the toxicity, analytical techniques, occurrence, and risk assessments of UV absorbers found in food.
摘要:
紫外线(UV)吸收剂是化学物质,广泛用作防御太阳辐射的破坏性影响。紫外线吸收剂,尽管他们的好处,被归类为新兴污染物,因为它们已被证明具有诱变性,有毒,伪持久性,生物蓄积性,并具有强烈的雌激素效应。由于它们在个人护理产品中的常见用途,他们继续进入环境。几个食物样本,特别是那些来自水生植物的,已被发现被这些化合物污染。对水生生物的毒性作用,如代谢失衡和发育毒性,紫外线吸收剂在水体中持续存在的结果。此外,应该检查食物中这些污染物的暴露程度,因为人类食用这些污染物会有一定的风险。因此,这篇综述侧重于毒性,分析技术,发生,以及食品中紫外线吸收剂的风险评估。
