Summary
This study screened three types of microplastics deployed in Swedish aquatic environments for biological activity using reporter gene assays, testing whether leachates from the plastics could activate specific cellular signaling pathways. Identifying bioactive compounds associated with environmental microplastics helps assess their potential toxicity to aquatic organisms.
