Arsenic exposure combined with nano-or microplastic induces different effects in the marine rotifer Brachionus plicatilis
Besides the adverse biological effects induced by microplastics (MPs), the effects associated
with sorption of ambient pollutants on MPs are considered as an emerging environmental …

Toxicity of nanoplastics to zooplankton is influenced by temperature, salinity, and natural particulate matter
Plastic pollution is ubiquitous and understanding its environmental effects is a matter of
urgency. Nanoplastics (NPs) are the smallest class of plastic pollution, and may elicit more …
