Combined effect of polystyrene nanoparticles and chlorpyrifos to Daphnia magna.

Microplastics and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) are emerging contaminants ubiquitous in the environment. These particles can act as carriers of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs), such as chlorpyrifos (CPF), an organophosphorus insecticide. This study investigates the acute toxicity of CPF combined with model polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) using Daphnia magna as a model organism.
