AI summary Read the abstract
This introduction describes Water Emerging Contaminants & Nanoplastics, an open access journal publishing research on pollutants of emerging concern — including nanoplastics — in natural and anthropogenic water cycles and their effects on ocean and human health.
Water Emerging Contaminants & Nanoplastics is an open access international journal intended to publish high quality, peer-reviewed, and original researches related to pollutants of emerging concern in both the natural and anthropogenic water cycles, as well as its effects on the ecosystems like oceans and human health. The journal publishes research articles, reviews, perspectives, short communications, and letters to editor.

Altered Biological Responses of Primary Producers to Multiple Stressors in the Presence of Nanoplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
This thesis investigated how nanoplastics interact with other environmental stressors — including elevated CO2, temperature, and light — to affect freshwater algae and cyanobacteria. The results show that nanoplastics can alter how aquatic plants respond to climate change, potentially disrupting the base of freshwater food webs.
