Effects of polystyrene nanoplastics and PCB-44 exposure on growth and physiological biochemistry of Chlorella vulgaris
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers studied the combined effects of polystyrene nanoplastics and a common industrial pollutant (PCB-44) on a freshwater green algae species over both short and long exposure periods. They found that both contaminants individually inhibited algae growth and disrupted cell functions, but their combined presence intensified the damage. The study highlights that when nanoplastics and chemical pollutants co-exist in water, they can create compounding harmful effects on aquatic organisms.
The influence of microplastics on the toxic effects and biodegradation of bisphenol A in the microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers discovered that polystyrene microplastics worsen the toxic effects of the common chemical bisphenol A (BPA) on green algae, suggesting that microplastics in aquatic environments can amplify the harm caused by other pollutants and may have cascading effects on aquatic food chains.
