Sunscreens are topical personal care products that provide protection against the sun's ultraviolet A (UVA) and B (UVB) radiation. Ultraviolet (UV) filters compounds added to sunscreens block, absorb, or reflect UV rays, but of major emerging concern due their widespread use global distribution. They pose a significant risk marine organisms owing chemical properties, including high lipophilicity which increases bioavailability. The present review identifies summarises factors contribute filter pollution, sources, pathways, effects on organisms. We identify evaluate current knowledge base gaps pertaining effects.
