Description
|
This dataset compiles reported environmental concentration ranges for selected organic UV filters (avobenzone, octocrylene, octinoxate, iscotrizinol, and ethylhexyl triazone) across different environmental matrices worldwide, providing a comparative framework for concentrations measured in Lake Balaton (Hungary).
The table summarizes published freshwater and marine occurrence data across surface water, sediment, and biota matrices. Entries marked as “n.a.” indicate that no published environmental concentration data were available for the respective compound–matrix combination at the time of compilation, rather than missing data within the present study.
Values reported under “This study” represent field-based freshwater concentrations from Lake Balaton and, in several cases, constitute among the first documented data for specific next-generation UV-filters in certain environmental compartments.
This dataset enables contextual interpretation of measured concentrations and supports international comparison of sunscreen-derived contamination in recreational aquatic ecosystems. |
