概要

Many studies on pharmaceuticals in the environment have recently been conducted in Japan. However, there are few studies on synthetic fragrance materials and organic UV filters in the environment in Japan. They are widely used compounds in many personal care products, and are categorized as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) pollutants in America and European countries. Synthetic fragrance materials and organic UV filters are groups of structurally diverse chemicals whose physical and chemical properties are very broad and differ from many pharmaceuticals in terms of having characteristics such as a higher volatilization level and a higher hydrophobicity. Adding to that, there is no official database of the production or consumption amount of each chemical. In this review, we provide fundamental data of synthetic fragrance materials and organic UV filters and their national market volume estimated in Japan and also summarize and discuss the concentrations of such compounds in the environment, human and ecological risk assessment and problems for further study in Japan.
