Exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics induced physiological and behavioral effects on the brittle star Ophiactis virens.

Nanoplastic contamination has become an issue of environmental concern but the information on the potential adverse effects of nanoplastics on marine ecosystems is still limited. Therefore, the aim of this work was to investigate the effects of the exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs; 0.05, 0.
