Exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics causes immune damage, oxidative stress and intestinal flora disruption in salamander (Andrias davidianus) larvae.

The toxic effects of nanoparticles have been increasingly investigated, but there has been limited research on amphibians, especially those of conservation value. This study examined the effects of different concentrations (0, 0.04, 0.

Bioaccumulation of polystyrene nanoplastics and BDE-209 induced oxidative stress, photosynthesis and growth impairments in floating fern Salvinia natans.

Aquatic ecosystems are facing increasing exposure to pollutants, posing potential threats to the stability and wellness of aquatic species. This study focused on evaluating the impacts of single and combined exposure to 80 nm polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs, 0.1, 1, 10, 20 mg/L) and decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209, 300 ng/L) for 14 days on the bioaccumulation, growth, photosynthesis and oxidative stress in the free-floating fern Salvinia natans.

Exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics and PCB77 induced oxidative stress, histopathological damage and intestinal microbiota disruption in white hard clam Meretrix lyrata.

The toxic effects of organic pollutants and nanoplastics on fish have been extensively studied, but there is limited research available on their combined toxicity to bivalves. This research aimed to investigate the accumulation and ecotoxicological impacts such as antioxidant capacity, histopathology and intestinal microbiota in white hard clam Meretrix lyrata, resulting from 7 days of single and mixture exposure to 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB77, 0.1 mg/L) and polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs, 80 nm, 1 mg/L).

Single and combined toxicity of polystyrene nanoplastics and PCB-52 to the aquatic duckweed Spirodela polyrhiza.

As nanoplastics and persistent organic pollutants are broadly distributed in aquatic ecosystems and pose a potential threat to ecosystem, most pertinent studies have focused on aquatic animals, while studies on freshwater plants have been rarely reported. Therefore, we analyzed the single and combined toxicological impacts of various concentrations of 80 nm polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) including 0.5, 5, 10, and 20 mg/L and polychlorinated biphenyl-52 (PCB-52, 2,2',5,5'- tetrachlorobiphenyl) at 0.

Trophic transfer of nanoplastics and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate in a freshwater food chain (Chlorella Pyrenoidosa-Daphnia magna-Micropterus salmoides) induced disturbance of lipid metabolism in fish.

Nanoplastics and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) are ubiquitous emerging contaminants that are transferred among organisms through food chain in the ecosystem. This study evaluated the trophic transfer of polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) and DEHP in a food chain including Chlorella pyrenoidosa, Daphnia magna and Micropterus salmoides (algae-crustacean-fish) and lipid metabolism at a higher trophic level in fish. Our results showed that the PSNPs and DEHP accumulated in C.

Parental exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate induces transgenerational growth and reproductive impairments through bioaccumulation in Daphnia magna.

The ubiquitous presence of polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in the aquatic environment may cause unpredictable negative effects on aquatic organisms and even continue to the offspring. This study assessed the transgenerational impacts of parental exposure to PSNPs and DEHP over four generations (F0-F3) of Daphnia magna. A total of 480 D.

Interactive effects of polystyrene nanoplastics and 6:2 chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonates on the histomorphology, oxidative stress and gut microbiota in Hainan Medaka (Oryzias curvinotus).

Nanoplastics adsorb surrounding organic contaminants in the environment, which alters the physicochemical properties of contaminants and affects associated ecotoxicological effects on aquatic life. The current work aims to explore the individual and combined toxicological implications of polystyrene nanoplastics (80 nm) and 6:2 chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (Cl-PFAES, trade name: F-53B) in an emerging freshwater fish model Hainan Medaka (Oryzias curvinotus). Therefore, O.

Polystyrene nanoplastics' accumulation in roots induces adverse physiological and molecular effects in water spinach Ipomoea aquatica Forsk.

The ubiquity of plastic pollution has emerged as a perplexing issue for aquatic and terrestrial plants. To assess the toxic effects of polystyrene NPs (PS-NPs, 80 nm), we conducted a hydroponic experiment in which water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica Forsk) was subjected to low (0.5 mg/L), medium (5 mg/L), and high (10 mg/L) concentrations of fluorescent PS-NPs for 10 days to examine their accumulation and transportation in water spinach and associated impacts on growth, photosynthesis, antioxidant defense systems.

Neuro- and hepato-toxicity of polystyrene nanoplastics and polybrominated diphenyl ethers on early life stages of zebrafish.

Nanoplastics (NPs) are good carriers of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and can modify their bioavailability and toxicity to aquatic organisms. This study highlights the single and combined toxic effects of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) and 2,2 ',4,4 '-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47, one of the major PBDE congeners) on zebrafish embryos after an exposure of up to 120 hpf. Our results showed that PS-NPs and BDE-47 formed larger particle aggregates during co-exposure, which attached to the surface of the yolk membrane and even changed its structure, and these particles also bioaccumulated in the intestine of zebrafish larvae, compared with the PS-NPs single exposure.

Toxic effects of polystyrene nanoplastics and polybrominated diphenyl ethers to zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Nanoplastics (NPs) are good carriers of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and can alter their bioavailability and toxic impacts to aquatic organisms. This study highlights the single and combined toxic effects of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) and 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47, one of the dominant congeners of PBDEs) on zebrafish embryos after an exposure duration of up to 120 hpf. Results showed that PS-NPs and BDE-47 co-exposure exacerbated the morphological deformities in terms of pericardial edema, yolk sac edema and curved tail in zebrafish larvae.
