Summary

Researchers assessed the developmental toxicity of polystyrene microplastics and bisphenol A on the black sea urchin Arbacia lixula using multiple biomarkers. The study examined how these pollutants, commonly found in marine environments, affect the early development stages of a sensitive invertebrate species used as an indicator of environmental contamination.
