This work reports the production of nanoplastics (NPs) from polypropylene (PP) free of the
antioxidant Irgafos® 168 (IRG) and alkane oligomers (ALK). PP pellets were milled into a …

The biotransformation of compounds is a critical point in understanding their toxic effects in
both toxicology and ecotoxicology. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether there …

Neonicotinoids (NEOs) are neurotoxic pesticides widely used in agriculture due to their high
effectiveness against pest insects. Despite their widespread use, very little is known about …

Facing billions of tons of pollutants entering the ocean each year, aquatic toxicity is
becoming a crucial endpoint for evaluating chemical adverse effects on ecosystems …
