Abstract
Organic ultraviolet filters (OUVFs) are widely used as personal care products and increasingly detected in freshwater environments, raising concerns over their persistence and potential ecological risks. This study presents the first appraisal of OUVF-related ecological risk in Poland, providing novel insights into ecological risk assessment within the One Health framework in the context of emerging contaminant threats. The occurrence, seasonal variability, and environmental risk of selected OUVFs in sediments from three freshwater bathing areas and one reference site in Southern Poland. Sediment samples were collected during spring (April) and summer (July) to capture seasonal patterns linked to recreational activity. Concentrations of eight OUVFs were determined using a highly sensitive and sustainable ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) analysis. A clear influence of seasonal human presence was observed. Significantly higher levels of IAMC, 4MBC, OC, and HMS were detected during the summer bathing season, particularly at highly frequented sites such as the Kryspinów and Balaton reservoirs. In contrast, BP3 exhibited higher concentrations in spring, likely reflecting both environmental processes and off-season inputs. Across all sampling sites and periods, most OUVFs, including BP3, 4MBC, IAMC, and MBBT, exhibited RQ and RQmix values, determined by probabilistic risk assessment (Monte Carlo simulations), below 0.01, indicating negligible ecological risk. In contrast, EHMC and HMS showed elevated concentrations in all studies reservoirs, with RQ values reaching up to 7.8 × 10⁻³ and 1.1 × 10⁻², corresponding to low-to-moderate risk. These results demonstrate that freshwater sediments function as a significant reservoir for OUVFs and highlight the necessity of incorporating temporal dynamics and sediment-based monitoring into environmental risk assessment frameworks for recreational waters.
