Formation of chlorinated breakdown products during degradation of sunscreen agent, 2-ethylhexyl-4-methoxycinnamate in the presence of sodium hypochlorite [PDF]
In this study, a new degradation path of sunscreen active ingredient, 2-ethylhexyl-4-methoxycinnamate (EHMC) and 4-methoxycinnamic acid (MCA) in the presence of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), was discussed. The reaction products were detected using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Sunscreen: Photometric Signatures of Galaxies Partially Cloaked in Dyson Spheres [PDF]
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence has so far come up negative for Kardashev Type III societies that capture all starlight from a galaxy. One possible reason is that shrouding a star in a megastructure is prohibitively expensive. Most of a galaxy's starlight comes from bright stars, which would require structures even larger than the ...

Experimental and theoretical studies on the photodegradation of 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate in the presence of reactive oxygen and chlorine species [PDF]
2-Ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate (EHMC) is one of the most commonly used sunscreen ingredient. In this study we investigated photodegradation of EHMC in the presence of such common oxidizing and chlorinating systems as H2O2, H2O2/HCl, H2O2/UV, and H2O2/HCl/UV.

Optics of sunscreen lotions: Preliminary results on scattering and absorption coefficients [PDF]
Sunscreen lotions are used to protect the skin from damage due to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The active UV blocking components can be organic molecules or inorganic particles, for example TiO2. While both in vivo and in vitro methods exist for assessing the protective capacity of sunscreens, their basic optical properties have received little ...
