Summary
Researchers found that UV-weathered polystyrene micro- and nanoplastics at environmentally relevant concentrations induced hepatotoxicity in human liver cells and caused significant changes in gene expression related to liver disease pathways.
Environmentally-relevant concentrations of UV-weathered polystyrene micro and nanoplastics induce hepatotoxicity and considerable changes in gene expression of liver disease-relevant pathways.
