Are bio-sourced nanoplastics inert for aquatic species? A toxicity study on three micro-algae species and a freshwater bivalve

AI summary · Read the abstract

"Bioplastics" — marketed as eco-friendly alternatives to regular plastic — break down into tiny nanoparticles in water, and this study found they're not harmless: they stunted algae growth and disrupted feeding and stress-response genes in freshwater clams. This matters because bioplastics are being adopted quickly as a "green" solution, but this research suggests they may still harm aquatic ecosystems at the bottom of the food chain, which could eventually affect the water and seafood humans rely on.
