Microplastics (MPs), widely present in aquatic ecosystems, can be ingested by numerous
organisms, but their toxicity remains poorly understood. Toxicity of environmental MPs from …

Microplastics (MPs) are present throughout aquatic ecosystems, and can be ingested by a
wide variety of organisms. At present, the physical and chemical effects of environmental …

Microplastics have been frequently detected in both marine and freshwater ecosystems.
Their impact on aquatic organisms has raised much concern. This study investigated the …

Microplastics are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems, but little information is currently
available on the dangers and risks to living organisms. In order to assess the ecotoxicity of …

Highlights•Exposure time-and concentration-dependent accumulation of PS-MPs in medaka
larvae was evaluated.•PS-MP exposure significantly decreased the body length of the …

Many studies have now reported adverse effects of exposure to microplastics in aquatic
organisms. Still, relatively few studies have compared the effects of MPs with those of natural …

While microplastics are present in great abundance across all seas and oceans, little is
known about their effects on marine life. In the aquatic environment, they can accumulate a …

Microplastic (μPs) contamination represents a dramatic environmental problem threatening
both aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Although several studies have highlighted the …

Microplastics are ubiquitous contaminants of freshwater ecosystems. However, few
ecotoxicity assays have been conducted on freshwater organisms using environmentally …

Microplastics (MPs) represent small plastic particles with sizes between 1 μm and 5 mm, are
insoluble in water, andclassified as primary (these are originally produced in small sizes) or …
