Summary

Researchers found that co-exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics and copper at environmentally relevant concentrations caused mitochondrial dysfunction and lipid metabolism disruption in zebrafish embryos, impairing early development and survival more severely than either contaminant alone.

Polymers

The co-exposure of NPs and Cu with environmentally-relevant concentration induced mitochondrial dysfunction and lipometabolic disturbance and consequently affected the development and survival of zebrafish at early life stages.
