Marine environment pollution has increased in recent decades as a result of anthropogenic activities. Macrophytes can assimilate the compounds dissolved in the water and respond to changes in surround conditions, for that, they can be used as bioindicators of pollution in aquatic environments. Currently organic UV filters have shown ever-increasing in pollution levels in marine ecosystems. The anthropogenic pollution produced by eight organic UV filters in coastal macrophytes was studied. A microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), followed by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatog. with tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) was applied to 76 macrophyte (seaweeds and seagrass) samples from three different beaches on the Gran Canaria Island (Spain), collected for 6 mo. All studied UV filters were found with different detection frequencies from 16% to 100% in macrophyte samples. Octocrylene (OC) was detected in all the analyzed samples throughout the sampling period. The highest concentration, 19,369 ng·g-1 dry weight (dw), was for this compound in the seagrass Cymodocea nodosa. The bioconcentration ratio was determined for several seaweed groups (red, brown, green). Different bioconcentration grades were obtained. Those above 1000 indicated significant accumulation, which increases the possibility of chronic effects on seaweed and at upper tropic levels.
Science of the Total Environment published new progress about Bioindicators. 71617-10-2 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Isopentyl 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)acrylate, and the molecular formula is C15H20O3, Computed Properties of 71617-10-2.
