Scientists explain how sunscreen can cause harm to coral reefs
Scientists have known long ago that sunscreens negatively impact coral reefs, but they weren’t sure why or how – until now. A group of environmental chemists and biologists finally came up with an explanation for why common chemicals like oxybenzone are causing problems for ocean life. They found that corals absorb oxybenzone and convert them into […]
