In this work, we used palladium-doped polystyrene NPLs (PS-NPLs with a primary size of
286±4 nm) with an irregular surface morphology which allowed for particle tracking and …

Bioplastics are thought as a safe substitute of non-biodegradable polymers. However, once
released in the environment, biodegradation may be very slow, and they also suffer abiotic …

Little information could be consulted on the impacts of micro-plastics as carriers on toxicity of
heavy metals, especially for micro-plastics of different sizes. Therefore, this study …

This study was aimed to assess the growth and lipid productivity improvement of a green
microalga Scenedesmus obliquus by mixotrophic cultivation, via addition of sodium acetate …

Revealing the ecotoxicity of micro (nano) plastics (MNPs) and azithromycin (AZM) is of great
importance regarding their wide occurrence in aquatic environments. Herein, we …

Metformin consumption for diabetes treatment is increasing, leading to its presence in
