Summary
Researchers found that polycarbonate nanoplastics and molecular by-products formed during photodegradation both induce toxicity toward hepatocellular functions in liver cell models, demonstrating dual harmful effects from a single degradation process.
Polycarbonate photodegradation products, namely nanoplastics and molecular by-products, are formed in a single step. Studying their effects in a suitable hepatic model proves that both components induce toxicity toward hepatocellular functions.
