Contamination of the aquatic environment caused by multiple human activities may exert a negative impact on all living organisms. Several contaminants of emerging concern such as personal care products (PCPs) are continuously released into the aquatic environment where they are biologically active and persistent.

This work reviews the current knowledge, provided by papers published after 2010 and indexed by SciFinder, Scopus, and Google search engines, about the determination and occurrence of PCPs in marine biota. Analytical methodologies have been critically reviewed, emphasizing the importance of green and high-throughput approaches and focusing the discussion on the complexity of the solute-matrix interaction in the extraction step, as well as the matrix effect in the instrumental determination. Finally, the worldwide distribution of PCPs is surveyed, taking into account the concentrations found in the same organism in different marine environments. Differences among various world areas have been highlighted, evidencing some critical aspects from an environmental point of view.

多种人类活动造成的水生环境污染可能对所有活生物体产生负面影响。诸如个人护理产品（PCP）之类的新出现的令人关注的污染物不断释放到具有生物活性和持久性的水生环境中。

这项工作回顾了当前知识，这些知识由2010年后发表的论文提供，并由SciFinder，Scopus和Google搜索引擎编入索引，它们涉及海洋生物区系中PCP的确定和发生。对分析方法进行了严格的审查，强调了绿色和高通量方法的重要性，并将讨论重点放在了萃取步骤中溶质与基质相互作用的复杂性以及仪器测定中的基质效应。最后，对五氯苯酚的全球分布进行了调查，并考虑了在不同海洋环境中同一生物中发现的浓度。人们强调了世界各个地区之间的差异，从环境角度证明了一些关键方面。
