Summary
This study evaluated the effects of nanoplastics on stream periphyton communities and benthic food chains. Nanoplastic exposure altered algal community composition and reduced the quality of periphyton as a food resource for higher trophic levels. The findings suggest that nanoplastic pollution can cascade through freshwater food webs.
