Assessment of UV filter ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate photoisomerization in aquatic environments, cosmetics and in vitro skin by (micro)extraction GC–MS analysis
Key Points
Photoisomerization of ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate occurs across diverse environments, impacting aquatic ecosystems.
Key finding indicates that UV filters can break down into different forms when exposed to light, which may affect their safety.
Assessment through microextraction and GC-MS analysis reveals varying concentrations of photoisomers in cosmetics and skin samples.
Highlights potential environmental risks of UV filters, emphasizing the need for further research and monitoring.
