Summary
This study found that polystyrene nanoplastics promoted cadmium accumulation in duckweed roots while paradoxically reducing cadmium toxicity in the fronds, revealing tissue-specific differences in how nanoplastic co-exposure modifies metal toxicity in aquatic plants.
Polymers
Polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) promoted the accumulation of Cd in duckweed roots, while alleviating the toxicity of Cd in the fronds.
