Research Abstract

This study has tried to find new emerging contaminants which have characteristics similar to Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in the environment. Four benzotriazole UV stabilizers (BUVSs) were focused as the 'Candidate of POPs', and their environmental fates, such as bioaccumulation, geographical distribution, temporal trends and source identification were investigated by analyzing environmental samples (n=336). As the results, it may be possible to conclude that UV-327 (CAS # : 3864-99-1) could be a candidate of the POPs Convention. Further studies are needed to evaluate environmental risks and human exposure to UV-327.
