The Toxicity of (Nano)Microplastics on C. elegans and Its Mechanisms
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the toxicological effects of micro- and nanoplastics on the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, finding that these particles cause oxidative stress, reproductive impairment, developmental delays, and neurological dysfunction, with nanoplastics generally more toxic than microplastics due to their greater cellular penetration.
Toxicological Effects of Micro and Nanoplastics on Soil Fauna: Current Research, Advances, and Future Outlook
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the toxic effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on soil-dwelling organisms such as earthworms and insects, finding that these particles can disrupt reproduction, growth, and survival, with potential ripple effects for soil health and food production.
Effects of Nanoplastics, Lithium, and Their Mixtures on Corbicula fluminea: Preliminary Findings
AI summary Read the abstract
Polystyrene nanoplastics and lithium were found to cause measurable physiological stress in the freshwater bivalve Corbicula fluminea individually, with mixture exposures producing compounded effects. This research highlights that real-world pollution scenarios involving nanoplastics alongside other contaminants may create toxicity combinations more harmful than any single pollutant alone.
A Critical Review on Biological Impacts, Ecotoxicity, and Health Risks Associated with Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers review the biological impacts and ecotoxicity of microplastics across ecosystems, documenting how these persistent particles transfer through trophic levels, disrupt feeding behavior, obstruct digestive tracts, impair respiratory and reproductive systems in aquatic species, and have been detected in human placentas, while calling for stronger regulations to limit environmental accumulation.
Cellular and Animal Toxicities of Micro- and Nanoplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed evidence from cell and animal studies on the toxic effects of micro- and nanoplastics, finding that these particles can cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and organ damage in laboratory models, raising concern about what chronic low-level human exposure might mean for long-term health.
