Nanoplastics enhance the intestinal damage and genotoxicity of sulfamethoxazole to medaka juveniles (Oryzias melastigma) in coastal environment
AI summary Read the abstract
Scientists exposed young medaka fish to the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole and polystyrene nanoplastics, both individually and together, to study their combined effects on intestinal health. They found that co-exposure caused more severe gut damage than either pollutant alone, disrupting the gut microbiome and triggering changes in gene expression related to immune defense and DNA repair. The study suggests that nanoplastics may amplify the harmful effects of antibiotics on fish in coastal environments.
Aging enhances the ecological toxicity of polyethylene microplastics to marine medaka larvae (Oryzias melastigma)
AI summary
Researchers found that UV- and Fenton-aged polyethylene microplastics caused greater harm to marine medaka larvae than virgin plastic, disrupting gut microbiota composition and altering microbial metabolic functions in ways that impaired growth and development, underscoring the need to assess weathered microplastics in ecological risk evaluations.
Dietary exposure to sulfamethazine, nanoplastics and their binary mixture disrupts the spermatogenesis of marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma)
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that dietary exposure to the antibiotic sulfamethazine harmed sperm development in marine fish, while nanoplastics alone had subtler effects, but the combination altered reproduction in unexpected ways, highlighting how multiple pollutants interacting in the ocean can pose complex risks to aquatic life.
Nanoplastics Penetrate Biological Barriers and Pose Risks to Aquatic Productivity
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examined how nanoplastics penetrate biological barriers at the sub-micrometer scale, posing threats to aquatic productivity through cellular uptake and toxicity pathways. Understanding nanoplastic behavior is critical because their small size enables systemic infiltration into organisms across the food chain, including species consumed by humans.
Interaction of Pesticides with Nano and Microplastics in Aquatic Systems: Co-toxicity and Remediation Strategies a Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics and nanoplastics in aquatic environments adsorb pesticides and act as vectors for combined chemical toxicity, examining interaction mechanisms, co-toxicity effects on aquatic organisms and human health, and evaluating remediation and regulatory strategies.
