Summary

This study investigated the 'Trojan Horse' effect of nanoplastics, examining whether nanoplastic particles potentiate the toxicity of co-sorbed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by facilitating their uptake and cellular delivery in aquatic organisms.

Massive annual production of plastics worldwide, coupled with prolonged environmental degradation and poor recycling policies has resulted in serious concerns regarding the ecological impact of these materials.
