Researchers generated raw data comparing the effects of microplastics derived from cigarette filters on selected terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates, supporting a published study in Environmental Pollution examining the comparative toxicity of cigarette filter-derived microplastics across different organism types.
Microplastics from cigarette filters: Comparative effects on selected terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers compared the effects of microplastics from smoked and unsmoked cigarette filters on both land and water invertebrates. Smoked filter microplastics were more toxic due to the added chemicals from tobacco smoke, causing reduced survival and reproduction in the test organisms. Since cigarette butts are one of the most littered items worldwide, this study shows they are a significant and underappreciated source of toxic microplastic pollution in the environment.
Effects of microplastics from unsmoked and smoked cigarette filters on aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers assessed the ecotoxicological effects of microplastics extracted from both unsmoked and smoked cigarette filters on aquatic invertebrates (rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus, water flea Daphnia magna) and terrestrial invertebrates (woodlice Porcellio scaber, mealworm Tenebrio molitor) across a concentration range of 1-100 mg/L. The study found that smoked cigarette filter microplastics caused greater toxicity than those from unsmoked filters, likely due to the additional chemical contaminants deposited during smoking.

Researchers exposed aquatic invertebrates (rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus, water flea Daphnia magna) and terrestrial invertebrates (woodlice Porcellio scaber, mealworm Tenebrio molitor) to microplastics derived from both unsmoked and smoked cigarette filters at concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 mg/L and assessed acute toxicity. The study found that cigarette butt-derived microplastics caused measurable adverse effects on multiple invertebrate species across both aquatic and terrestrial exposure routes.
Effects of microplastics from cigarette filters on two aquatic species and in vitro human lung cells
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined the effects of microplastics from cigarette filters on two aquatic species and conducted in vitro cell tests to assess human health risks. Cigarette filter microplastics caused toxicity in both aquatic organisms and human cells, underscoring the environmental and health hazards of this overlooked microplastic source.
