> Oxybenzone — a chemical linked to coral bleaching — transforms from a UV-blocking agent into one that damages cells when exposed to light. The article subhead, copied above, suggests that oxybenzone, once exposed to seawater, could damage cells. Without qualification, human cells. That was my initial takeaway. It turns out that anemones convert oxybenzone to a molecule that could damage coral. That’s very different.
