Summary
This study investigated the combined endocrine-disrupting activity of pharmaceutical compounds mixed with nanoplastics, examining how the mixture behaves differently from individual components. Nanoplastics can adsorb and concentrate endocrine-disrupting chemicals from the environment, potentially delivering combined hormonal effects to organisms that ingest them.
