Summary

A passive dosing method was used to measure how chemicals accumulate in Daphnia water fleas when nanoplastics are present, helping separate direct particle effects from chemical effects. Understanding which pathway causes more harm is essential for accurately assessing nanoplastic risk.

Models

The contribution of different uptake pathways of chemicals in D. magna in the presence of nanoplastics was clarified.
