Acute and multigenerational toxicity of polylactic acid microplastics on a copepod bioindicator
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers discovered that polylactic acid microplastics, marketed as eco-friendly biodegradable plastics, are toxic to a key zooplankton species across multiple generations, raising concerns that "bioplastic" alternatives may not be as safe for aquatic ecosystems as widely assumed.
What Can Model Polystyrene Nanoparticles Can Teach Us on the Impact of Nanoplastics in Bivalves? Studies in Mytilus from the Molecular to the Organism Level
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers used model polystyrene nanoparticles to study how nanoplastics affect mussels at the molecular and whole-organism level, shedding light on the potential harm of plastic particles smaller than one micrometer. Because nanoplastics can penetrate cells more easily than larger microplastics, these findings suggest they may pose distinct biological risks to aquatic life and potentially humans.
