Interest about interactions between microplastics and organisms is on the rise. Accessing
organisms' responses to these chemically “inert” compounds plays an important role in …

In recent decades, the quantity of plastic waste products has increased tremendously. As
plastic wastes are released into the environment, they exert harmful effects on biota and …

In this study, we evaluated accumulation and adverse effects of ingestion of microplastics in
the monogonont rotifer (Brachionus koreanus). The dependence of microplastic toxicity on …

The increasing global contamination of plastics in marine environments is raising public
concerns about the potential hazards of microplastics to environmental and human health …

Microplastics are emerging pollutants that have been widely reported in aquatic ecosystems.
Based on the analysis of environmentally relevant concentrations of microplastics in global …

Recently, research on the biological effects of nanoplastics has grown exponentially.
However, studies on the effects of nanoplastics on freshwater organisms and the …

The indiscriminate use of plastic has greatly increased microplastic contamination risk in the
marine environment. Microplastics can affect all marine life via the food web, from primary …

Organ ischemia with inadequate oxygen supply followed by reperfusion (which initiates a
complex of inflammatory responses and oxidative stress) occurs in different clinical …

An increasing amount of carbon-based nanomaterials (CNM)(mostly fullerenes, carbon
nanotubes and graphene) has been observed in aquatic systems over the last years …

Nanoplastics (NPs) spread widely with water and air current, and they can accumulate in
aquatic organisms, even penetrating biofilms, which may cause persistent toxicity and …
