Sunscreens contain chemical compounds, known as pseudo persistent pollutants, which block the sun\u2019s ultraviolet (UV) rays and can lead to bleaching and deformity in coral or a decrease in fish fertility.<\/p>\n<p>The global sunscreen market is booming, with sales predicted to reach $13.6bn by 2028. The products are washed off into the world\u2019s oceans in surprisingly high volumes, according to the review. One featured study calculated that, assuming that 50% washes off, if the average person applies 36g of sunscreen with a reapplication of the same amount occurring after 90 minutes, a single beach with 1,000 visitors could lead to 35kg entering the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>The most common compound found in UV filters is benzophenone. Benzophenones have been identified as persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic substances, with benzophenone-3, the chemical frequently found in sunscreens and cosmetic products, now under investigation as a possible hormone disruptor by the European Chemicals Agency. UV filter pollution has also been detected in agricultural practices, when recycled water from wastewater treatment plants is used as soil fertiliser. The contaminants found here not only impact crops, but also reach aquatic environments through agricultural runoff.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2025\/feb\/18\/sunscreens-impact-on-marine-life-needs-urgent-investigation-study-finds\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-667\/\">Sunscreen\u2019s impact on marine life needs urgent investigation, study finds<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,7517,18015],"class_list":["post-137598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-marine-life","tag-sunscreen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137598"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137598\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
