Summary
Researchers found that nanoplastics collected from a natural river caused more gene expression disruption in freshwater bivalves than pristine polystyrene nanoplastics, with neurotoxic effects and synergistic interactions with aluminum that persisted even after depuration.
Body Systems
Study Type
Environmental
Gene expression was more disrupted in the case of diet-borne exposure of bivalves to NP-L (from the Leyre River) compared to NP-PS, accompanied by neurotoxic effects, synergistic effects with aluminium, and this, even after 7 days of depuration.
