Fish gills are in direct contact with the surrounding pollutants, and thus, potentially more vulnerable to microplastics (MPs) heavy metals. The present study aimed evaluate long-term exposure effects of MPs copper (Cu) adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). To this end, were exposed (2 mg/L), Cu (Cu25, 25 μg/L) their mixture (Cu25 + MPs) for 30 days, then oxidative stress, detoxification, antioxidant, metabolic neurotoxicity enzymes/genes, as well serotonergic system apoptosis genes, evaluated...

The knowledge regarding the neurological and behavioral toxic effects associated with microplastics (MPs) heavy metals exposure is still scarce. present study aimed to evaluate potential chronic (30 days) of MPs (2 mg/L) copper (Cu, 25 µg/L), alone or combined, in zebrafish (Danio rerio) brain antioxidant system, cell proliferation/death, cholinergic-, serotonergic- dopaminergic pathways and, consequently, locomotor, anxiety, social behaviors. Our findings showed that Cu modulated system...

The production and consumption of plastic products had been steadily increasing over the years, leading to more waste entering environment. Plastic pollution is ubiquitous comes in many types forms. To enhance or modify their properties, chemical additives are added items during manufacturing. presence leakage these additives, from managed mismanaged waste, into environment growing concern. In this study, we gauged, via an online questionnaire, expert knowledge on use, characteristics,...

The growing use of plastics, including microplastics (MPs), has enhanced their potential release into aquatic environments, where microalgae represent the basis food webs. Due to physicochemical properties, MPs may act as carriers organic and inorganic pollutants. present study aimed determine toxicity polyethylene (plain oxidized) model pollutants chlorpyrifos (CPF) mercury (Hg) on red Rhodomonas lens, contribute understanding effects associated marine ecosystems, role vectors potentially...
