Summary

This meta-analysis pools data from multiple studies to assess how micro and nanoplastic exposure affects Daphnia, a key freshwater organism used to gauge water health. The evidence shows that plastic particles can harm Daphnia reproduction, which is important because these organisms are a foundational part of freshwater food webs that ultimately connect to human food and water sources.
