Summary

Researchers developed an improved laboratory method to generate secondary nanoplastics and oligomers under environmentally representative conditions, and found that the produced materials caused measurable physiological changes in the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii at environmentally relevant concentrations. The method advances ecotoxicological research by enabling more realistic testing of nanoplastic breakdown products.

An efficient method was developed to produce secondary nanoplastics and oligomers, mimicking environmental conditions. The produced materials caused physiological changes in the microalga C. reinhardtii at environmentally relevant concentrations.
