Biochemical responses of the mussel < em > Perna perna < /em > after exposure to environmental concentrations of the UV filter Benzophenone-3

In conclusion, environmentally relevant concentrations of BP-3 altered antioxidant and auxiliary enzymes, which could cause long-term damage to P.perna mussels. The need to implement more efficient techniques in wastewater treatment systems is pointed out, especially in summer, when UV filters are used more frequently and abundantly.PMID:37476967 | DOI:10.1080/00498254.2023.2233022
