Summary

Researchers found that increased temperature and salinity promoted nanoplastic toxicity to zooplankton, while the presence of organic matter and natural colloids mitigated toxic effects, suggesting environmental conditions significantly modulate nanoplastic risks.

Increases in temperature/salinity promote nanoplastics toxicity, while organic matter/natural colloids mitigate toxicity.
