dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Benzophenones (BPs) are used in various branches of industry as ultraviolet radiation filters, but they pollute
the natural environment, penetrate living organisms, and disrupt endocrine balance. Knowledge of the exposure of domestic animals
to these substances is extremely scant. The aim of the study was to investigate long-term exposure of companion dogs to BPs and
relate this to environmental factors. Material and Methods: Hair samples taken from 50 dogs and 50 bitches from under 2 to over
10 years old were analysed for BP content with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Results: The results revealed
that dogs are most often exposed to 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (BP-3) and 4-dihydroxybenzophenone (BP-1).
Concentration levels of BP-3 above the method quantification limit (MQL) were noted in 100% of the samples and fluctuated
from 4.75 ng/g to 1,765 ng/g. In turn, concentration levels of BP-1 above the MQL were noted in 37% of the samples and ranged
from <0.50 ng/g to 666 ng/g. Various factors (such as the use of hygiene and care products and the dog’s diet) were found to affect
BP concentration levels. Higher levels of BP-3 were observed in castrated/spayed animals and in animals that required veterinary
intervention more often. Conclusion: The results obtained show that the analysis of hair samples may be a useful matrix for
biomonitoring BPs in dogs, and that these substances may be toxic to them. | es |
