Anhui Key Laboratory of Polar Environment and Global Change, Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China.
Article Synopsis
- Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) are emerging environmental contaminants from devices like TVs and smartphones, raising concerns about their health impacts due to widespread presence.
- Atmospheric reactions can transform airborne LCMs into products with varied hazard profiles; however, many of these transformation products are not well understood in terms of their potential risks.
- A study revealed that many transformation products of LCMs exhibit significant persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity, emphasizing the need to consider their effects when assessing environmental risks from LCMs.
