Abstrakt: This research was carried out in order to assess a baseline occurrence in Biscayne National Park, Florida, of four organic contaminants: the UV filters oxybenzone, dioxybenzone, and benzophenone, as well as the topical pain reliever benzocaine. A total of 35 samples were taken from five locations within the park, four near barrier islands, and one at a coral reef. Analyses were carried out using liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. Oxybenzone was detected in 26% of samples from the park at concentrations up to 31 ng/L. Benzophenone was detected in 49% of samples from the park at concentrations up to 131 ng/L. Benzocaine and dioxybenzone were not detected in any of the samples.
