Correction: Potentiation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon uptake in zebrafish embryos by nanoplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a published correction to a study on nanoplastics potentiating the uptake of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in zebrafish embryos. The correction updates details in the original paper rather than presenting new findings.

Potentiation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon uptake in zebrafish embryos by nanoplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Nanoplastics present in the environment were found to enhance the uptake of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in zebrafish embryos, suggesting that plastic particles can act as a "Trojan horse" that increases exposure to other toxic pollutants. This combined toxicity effect raises important concerns about the true health risks of microplastic contamination.

Researchers investigated whether nanoplastics act as a 'Trojan Horse' carrying adsorbed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into zebrafish cells, finding that nanoplastic-bound PAHs accumulated in mitochondria and caused greater mitochondrial toxicity than free PAHs alone.

AI summary Read the abstract
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.
Using visualization techniques to assess the accumulation of nanoplastics with varying surface modifications
