Summary

Functionalized polystyrene nanoplastics inhibited growth of marine clams (Meretrix meretrix) at environmentally relevant concentrations by disrupting energy homeostasis and immune function. The study demonstrated that surface functionalization of nanoplastics influences their toxicity to filter-feeding bivalves.
