Summary

Researchers tested the individual and combined effects of secondary polylactic acid (PLA) nanoplastics on two cyanobacteria species, examining interactions with organic and inorganic contaminants to evaluate the ecotoxicological risks posed by biodegradable plastics as they degrade in aquatic environments.

Polymers

In recent years, biodegradable plastics with analogous properties to conventional oil-based plastics have increased their production as they are presented as a substitute for common plastics. However, little is known about the effects that biodegradable plastics can cause into the environment due to their degradation. In this study, we tested the negative aisle and combined effects of secondary poly lactic acid (PLA) nanoplastics ( Also see: https://micro2024.sciencesconf.org/557903/document
