The toxic effect of waterborne nanoplastics is a manifestation of bio-nano interfacial
interactions. Although nanoplastics with different physicochemical characteristics are known …

Nanoplastics are recognized as able to interact with other pollutants including heavy metals,
and with natural organic matter, with implications for the potential risks to biota. We …

Concerns about possible environmental implications of nano-and micro-plastics are
continuously raising. Hence, comprehensive understanding of their behaviour …

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 …

Abstract Both Bisphenol A (BPA) and polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) are routinely found
in several consumer products such as packaging materials, flame retardants, and cosmetics …

Nanoplastics (NPs) have drawn increasing attention in recent years due to their potential
threats to aquatic ecosystems. Microalgae are primary producers, which play important roles …

The amount of plastics produced per year is in constant growth alongside their use in
different sectors like the textile industry, agriculture or, more recently, in nanotechnology …

The accumulation and degradation of plastic waste in freshwater bodies poses a threat to
aquatic biota. Microplastics (< 5 mm) can transfer upwards in food chains and have been …

The ubiquitous nature of plastics, particularly nanoplastics, raises concern about their
potential effects on primary producer microalgae. Currently, the impacts and potential …

Due to their small size, nanoplastics (NPLs) possess specific properties which can
potentiate their toxicity towards aquatic organisms. As primary producers, microalgae are at …
