- 2-Ethylhexyl-4-methoxycinnamate on marine and coastal environments: A comprehensive review of its environmental significance and biological impact. Bordalo, Diana Soares, Amadeu M V M Sokolova, Inna Pretti, Carlo Freitas, Rosa Animals Water Pollutants, Chemical Aquatic Organisms Cinnamates Ecosystem Sunscreening Agents Environmental Monitoring Marine and coastal environments are constantly subjected to increasing pressures associated with population growth, industrialization development, pollution and higher demand feeding society's consumerism. Among these pressures, there has been an increasing concern towards UV filters occurrence in aquatic ecosystems due to a greater use of personal care products (PCPs). 2-ethylhexyl-4-methoxycinnamate (EHMC) is one of the most used UV filters in sunscreen formulations, yet few reports address its effects in biota. This literature review intends to collect the available information concerning the environmental presence of EHMC in marine and coastal ecosystems and their effects in biota. The EHMC effects have been reported for the taxonomic groups: Actinomycetes, Alphaproteobacteria, Bacilli, Cytophagia, Flavobacteriia, Gammaproteobacteria, Actinopterygii, Anthozoa, Bacillariophyceae, Bivalvia, Branchiopoda, Coccolithophyceae, Echinoidea, Gastropoda, Malacostraca, Annelida and Thecostraca. The reported literature evaluated endpoints mainly related to development, viability, mortality, estrogenicity, gene transcription disruptions, biochemical alterations and morphophysiological changes. Based on the available information, there is still a clear need for further investigations related to EHMC and its toxicological effects on marine and coastal organisms.
