ABSTRACT
Benzotriazole ultraviolet stabilizers (BUVSs) are widely used as industrial additives to protect products from photoaging and are present in a variety of environmental matrices and organisms. It raised significant concerns that BUVSs are emerging pollutants with persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity, of which 2-(3, 5-di-tert-amyl-2-hydroxyphenyl) benzotriazole (UV-328) has been recently listed in Annex A of the Stockholm Convention Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) list. A comprehensive understanding of the occurrence, partitioning and transformation of BUVSs in the environment is the basis for their environmental exposure and risk studies. However, the occurrence, partitioning and transformation of BUVSs are scarcely reviewed. In this paper, the environmental occurrence of BUVSs in various matrices, including water-suspended particulate matter and sediment, soil and dust, sludge, as well as biota, were summarized. Solid matrices and organisms are predominant reservoirs for BUVSs rather than waters, but there is a lack of systematical summary on the sorption/partitioning studies of BUVSs in abiotic phases and organisms. This paper analyzed and reviewed the possible sorption/partitioning processes and mechanisms. It was found that the partitioning is dependent on the hydrophobicity of BUVSs, environmental conditions and the organic carbon contents, and the bioaccumulation is also biota-species dependent. To further assess the potential risks of BUVSs, more progress has been made in the study of transformation of BUVSs. Focusing on the most important transformation processes in the environment, involving photodegradation, chemical degradation, biodegradation and metabolism in biota, the probable transformation pathways and mechanisms of BUVSs were summarized. It was emphasized that the hydrophobicity and toxicity of metabolites should not be overlooked. Finally, the future research direction was prospected from contaminant remediation and health risk perspectives. This paper provides fundamental knowledge of the environmental behavior of BUVSs, and will facilitate the research of environmental exposure and risk assessment of BUVSs.
