Polystyrene microplastics alter bioaccumulation, and physiological and histopathological toxicities of cadmium in the polychaete Perinereis aibuhitensis

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Heavy metal (HM) pollution in the marine environment has been of concern for decades. The potential impact of HMs carried by emerging marine pollutants such as microplastics (MPs) has attracted attention only in recent years.

Lethal, behavioral, growth and developmental toxicities of alkyl-PAHs and non-alkyl PAHs to early-life stage of brine shrimp, Artemia parthenogenetica

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Alkyl-PAHs are the predominant form of PAHs in crude oils which are supposed to demonstrate different toxicities compared to non-alkyl PAHs. Little information is available about the toxicity of alkyl-PAHs on marine Artemia.
