Abstract
Oxybenzone is an ingredient used to protect against UV exposure in some sunscreens. The oxidation of this bio phenol can create a stressful environment for coral reefs, causing coral bleaching and other adverse effects on the environment. The oxidation of oxybenzone has been explored through chemical (KMnO_4) and enzymatic (peroxidase) oxidation reactions. HPLC data is presented.
