Dramatic Repercussion of Microplastics on Algae’s Population: Special Highlights on Nutraceutical and Active Ingredients Content
Summary
Researchers found that microplastics cause significant harm to algae, the first organisms they encounter in marine environments, potentially disrupting the nutritional and active compounds these algae produce, which could have ripple effects up the food chain and on industries that rely on algae for nutraceuticals.
An emerging concern for the environment, especially marine systems, is microplastics; these plastics with a micro or nano size interact with their environment causing terrible damages; algae are the first barrier encountered by microplastics; this induces a double...
