The presence of personal care product (PCP) residues in the aquatic environment is an emerging issue due to their uncontrolled release through graywater; for this reason, efforts are being made to develop methods to inactivate or eliminate this class of substances in the environment. In this work, homogeneous photocatalysis has been applied for the degradation of UV filter para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), which exists in several types of PCPs, in order to identify the optimum degradation conditions. The oxidation of PABA by photo-Fenton and oxalate-induced photo-Fenton (ferrioxalate) processes was investigated, and the effect of various operating variables has been assessed, i.e., Fe (0.0035-0.014 g L), HO (0.025-0.2 g L), T (280-323 K), and type of radiation (UV-A, visible). Furthermore, experiments under optimal conditions have been performed in order to evaluate the transformation pathways and phytotoxicity of the treated PABA solution.

Hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOCs) that enter the aquatic environment often negatively impact organisms, endangering aquatic biodiversity. Understanding sediment sorption equilibria for these chemicals can properly direct mitigation efforts. In addition, many HOCs of environmental concern lack sufficient environmental fate data to adequately assess their risk to ecosystems and humans.

In this study, a structurally guided pharmacophore hybridization strategy is used to combine the two key structural scaffolds, -aminobenzoic acid (PABA), and 1,3,5 triazine in search of new series of antimalarial agents. A combinatorial library of 100 compounds was prepared in five different series as [ (-), (-), (-), (-) and (-)] using different primary and secondary amines, from where 10 compounds were finally screened out through molecular property filter analysis and molecular docking study as promising PABA substituted 1,3,5-triazine scaffold as an antimalarial agent. The docking results showed that compounds and exhibited good binding interaction with Phe58, IIe164, Ser111, Arg122, Asp54 (-424.

Organic UV filters are ubiquitous as they are used in numerous personal care products. Consequently, people constantly come into direct or indirect contact with these chemicals. Albeit studies of the effects of UV filters on human health have been undertaken, their toxicological profiles are not complete.

Background: UV filters are emerging contaminants with endocrine disrupting effects, but little is known about their health effects, especially for children.
Objective: To assess the association between multiple organic UV filters exposure and adiposity measures and by gender in peripubertal children.
Methods: This prospective follow-up study included 327 children aged 7-15 years old.

Sunscreens can be categorized as physical and chemical types. Chemical sunscreens are widely used in cosmetics, and hence, their concentration in the desired products should be strictly monitored. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is widely used for the analysis of cosmetics as it does not require organic mobile phases and allows for accurate qualitative and quantitative analyses.
