This review considers the interaction of microplastics (MPs)/nanoplastics (NPs) and co-
existing contaminants, including organic contaminants, potentially toxic elements (PTEs) …

Toxicity testing relies heavily on animals, especially rodents as part of the non-clinical
laboratory testing of substances. However, the use of mammalians and the number of …

In this study, we evaluated accumulation and adverse effects of ingestion of microplastics in
the monogonont rotifer (Brachionus koreanus). The dependence of microplastic toxicity on …

Among the various materials found inside microplastic pollution, nanosized microplastics
are of particular concern due to difficulties in quantification and detection; moreover, they are …

Understanding patterns and processes in biological diversity is a critical task given current
and rapid environmental change. Such knowledge is even more essential when the taxa …

Microalgae and cyanobacteria are fundamental components of aquatic ecosystems.
Pollution in aquatic environment is a worldwide problem. Toxicological research on …

Tire-wear particles (TWPs) are potential source of microplastic (MP) pollution in marine
environments. Although the hazardous effects of MPs on marine biota have received …

Most previous researches focused on the toxicity of polystyrene microplastics (MPs) to
marine organisms, but less on polyethylene MPs and freshwater zooplanktons. The present …

Sorption of organic pollutants on microplastics can be an alternative uptake route for organic
pollutants in aquatic organisms. To assess the combined effects of microplastics and organic …

Growing experimental data on the adverse effects of microplastic pollution on marine biota
indicate that the size of the plastic particles is a key determinant of toxicity. Here, we …
