UV-328 (2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-di-tert-pentylphenol) is a chemical compound that belongs to the phenolic benzotriazoles. It is a UV filter that is used as an UV-absorber for plastics.[3]
A bioaccumulation factor (log BAF) of 2,6–3,4 was determined in fish from Canadian rivers.[9] It may cause long lasting harmful effects to aquatic life.[10]
UV-328 has been found to be associated with adverse health effects in mammals based on repeated-dose toxicity studies conducted in rats and dogs, with the primary health effect being liver toxicity. It is also associated with adverse effects on the kidney based on the study in rats.[11]
