Summary
This freshwater study examined combined effects of microplastics and a pyrethroid pesticide on midge larvae (Chironomus riparius), contributing to growing evidence that microplastics in freshwater ecosystems interact with chemical pollutants to produce compounded harmful effects on invertebrates.
Study Type
Environmental
There is growing evidence of widespread contamination of freshwater ecoystems with microplastics, plastic polymers that are < 5 mm. While a wide variety of organisms have been reported to ingest ...
