Summary

Researchers reviewed how embryonic and early-life exposure to microplastics and nanoplastics disrupts reproductive development and aquatic organism physiology, highlighting particular concern for developmental toxicity given the vulnerability of embryos to oxidative stress and endocrine disruption caused by plastic particles.

Body Systems

Microplastics and nano-plastics have been a major source of environmental contamination in recent years, and there is a general worry about the potential toxicity to human health as well as towards the aquatic organisms particularly with regard to the reproductive...
