Abstract
Benzophenone-3 (aka BP-3, oxybenzone) is added to sunscreens, plastics and some coatings to filter UV radiation. A suspected endocrine disruptor, BP-3 has been widely detected and ot only in summertime, where a more intended use of sunscreen might be expected in the urine of Danish children (Frederiksen et al., 2016; Krause et al, 2016) and other populations. BP-3 has been found in the air and settled dust of homes (Wan et al., 2015) and is expected to redistribute from its original sources to other indoor compartments, including clothing. As has been previously observed for phthalates (Morrison et al., 2016), we hypothesized that dermal uptake from clothing would occur and could contribute to the body burden of this compound.
