Bill 132, banning sunscreens containing the chemicals avobenzone or octocrylene, has progressed through the Hawaiian House and Senate. If it passes, the bill will go into effect January 1, 2023, to prohibit the sale or distribution of any sunscreen containing the targeted chemicals unless the buyer has a valid prescription. The outlawed chemicals can make corals more susceptible to viral infections and bleaching. Octocrylene can disrupt human hormones and harm marine animals. Avobenzone is an endocrine disruptor and can make coral less resilient to high temperatures. Maxx Phillips, Hawaii director and staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, says, “This is great news for our imperiled coral reefs and marine life. People can protect their skin without harmful petrochemicals while Hawaii protects public and environmental health.” For those needing to protect themselves from the sun without harming ocean life, scientists and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recommend products containing non-nanoized titanium dioxide and non-nanoized zinc oxide.

A new study by scientists at the State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography, in China, and published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, predicts that if emissions of greenhouse gases go unchecked, summers in the Northern Hemisphere could last nearly six months by 2100. The impacts will be felt on human health, agriculture and ecology, such as the timing of animal feeding, breeding and migration, as well as promoting more heat waves, droughts and wildfires. The research analyzed six decades of historical daily climate records and employed climate models to project future trends. Summer was defined as the onset of temperatures in the hottest 25 percent of the year and winter as temperatures in the coldest 25 percent. The number of summer days in the Northern Hemisphere increased from 78 to 95 between 1952 and 2011.
