Abstract Effects of nanoplastics at low level on the marine primary producer are largely
unclear. To assess the potential risk of nanoplastic pollution, this study exposed marine …

The contamination of the aquatic environment with microplastics has become a global
environmental concern. Microplastic particles can be shredded to form smaller nanoplastics …

Plastics of different sizes (micro-and nano-sized) are often identified in aquatic
environments. Nevertheless, their influence on marine organisms has not been widely …

Abstract Effects of microplastics on microalgae have not been compared from different
habitat. To answer this question, three marine microalgae species (Chlorella marined …

The toxicity of nanoplastics to aquatic organisms has been widely studied in terms of
biochemical indicators. However, there is little discussion about the underlying toxic …

Most laboratory studies have focused on the effects of nanoplastics instead of plastics at the
micrometer scale, which are the major microplastics (MPs) discarded in marine …

The acute toxic effects of pristine and aged polystyrene (P-PS and A-PS) and their leaching
solutions (L-PS) on microalgae Skeletonema costatum were investigated by measuring …

Most previous studies have focused on the toxicity of microplastics on aquatic organisms.
However, research on nanoplastics is still limited and poses significant threat to aquatic …

The combined toxic effects of nanoplastics and heavy metals on aquatic organisms have
attracted widespread attention; however, the results are inconsistent and the mechanisms …

Microplastics are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems worldwide, but knowledge on their
impacts on phytoplankton, especially freshwater microalgae, is still limited. To investigate …
