Due to the increasing concerns on global ecosystems and human health, the environmental
risks posed by microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have become an important topic …

The presence of microplastics in the aquatic environment poses a serious threat not only to
aquatic organisms but also to human beings that consume them. The uptake and effects of …

Examining transcriptomic and metabolic responses of earthworms to microplastic-
contaminated soil is critical for understanding molecular-level toxicity of microplastics; yet …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have become an important global
environmental issue due to their widespread contamination in the environment. This review …

Due to the wide application of plastic products in human life, microplastic pollution in water
has recently attracted more attention. Many studies have revealed the size-dependent …

Interaction of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) with the immune system mainly occurs with
cells and molecules of innate immunity, which are present in interface tissues of living …

Microplastics (MPs) pose one of the major environmental threats to marine organisms and
ecosystems on a global scale. Although many marine crustaceans are highly susceptible to …

Simple Summary Plastic waste in the marine environment can be degraded into microplastic
particles that are smaller than 5 mm in diameter. Such microplastic particles can interfere …

Nanoplastic (NP) is an emerging contaminant in recent years, and it has been detected in
water and even in polar ice. Further verification of the toxic potential of NPs in marine …

In this work, we analyzed the early molecular effects of polystyrene (PS) nanoplastics (NPs)
on an aquatic primary consumer (larvae of Chironomus riparius, Diptera) to evaluate their …
