Effects of Nanoplastics, Lithium, and Their Mixtures on Corbicula fluminea: Preliminary Findings
Summary
Polystyrene nanoplastics and lithium were found to cause measurable physiological stress in the freshwater bivalve Corbicula fluminea individually, with mixture exposures producing compounded effects. This research highlights that real-world pollution scenarios involving nanoplastics alongside other contaminants may create toxicity combinations more harmful than any single pollutant alone.
The effects of polystyrene nanoplastics (NP), lithium (Li), and their mixtures were investigated using the exotic invasive bivalve Corbicula fluminea as test organism for ethical reasons. In a 96 h laboratory bioassay, groups of bivalves were exposed to water...
