Sunscreen products impair the early developmental stages of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus

Abstract Marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by the release of personal care products. Among them, sunscreens are causing concern either for the effects on skin protection from UV radiation and for the potential impacts on marine life. Here, we assessed the UVA protective efficacy of three...
