Polylactic acid (PLA) accounts for approximately 45% of the global market of biodegradable
plastics. Using Caenorhabditis elegans as an animal model, we examined the effect of long …

Caenorhabditis elegans was employed as model to compare reproductive toxicity between
pristine and aged polylactic acid microplastics (PLA-MPs). Aged PLA-MPs induced by UV …

Microplastics are widely used due to their numerous advantages. However, they can have
detrimental effects on marine ecosystems. When microplastics enter the ocean, they can be …

As the most commercial polymer, the polyethylene nanoparticle (PE-NP) has been
discharged into the environment and poses potential risks to organisms. However, the …

Due to high sensitivity to environmental exposures, Caenorhabditis elegans is helpful for
toxicity evaluation and toxicological study of pollutants. Using this animal model, we …

Biologically active environmental pollutants have significant impact on ecosystems, wildlife,
and human health. Microplastic (MP) and nanoplastic (NP) particles are pollutants that are …

Biomicroplastics (BMPs) will be produced during bioplastic degradation (ie, polylactic acid),
although bioplastics have been widely used for food packaging. Like conventional …

Abstract Background Microplastics (MPs), which are smaller in size and difficult to degrade,
can be easily ingested by marine life and enter mammals through the food chain. Our …

The expanded uses of bioplastics require understanding the potential health risks
associated with their exposure. To address this issue, Drosophila melanogaster as a …

Microplastics (MP) are pervasive in the environment. There is ample evidence of negative
MP effects on biota in aquatic ecosystems, though little is known about MP effects in …
