Nile red staining of polyethylene and polystyrene in Daphnia magna tests
Romanian Journal of Ecology & Environmental Chemistry, 2023 Microplastics pollution represents a stringent global issue. Their accumulation in the aquatic environment remains complicated due to the abundance, distribution, and resulting environmental effects they induce.

Leachate From Expanded Polystyrene Cups Is Toxic to Aquatic Invertebrates (Ceriodaphnia dubia)
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Expanded polystyrene (EPS) products and their associated chemicals (e.g., styrenes) are widespread in the marine environment. As a consequence, bans on their use for single-use packaging materials are being proposed in several municipalities.

Crowding Effects of Polystyrene Nanoparticles on Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity in Hydra Attenuata
Journal of Xenobiotics, 2020 Plastics pervade our environment and potentially release important quantities of plastic nanoparticles (NPs) from degradation in the environment. The purpose of this study was to examine the crowding effects of polystyrene NPs on lactate dehydrogenase ...

A polystyrene-water calorimeter [PDF]
The International Journal of Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 1983 The paper describes a new type of calorimeter that can be quickly put into operation for determining absorbed dose at a point in polystyrene. It also describes a unique method of decreasing drifts in electrical signals caused by temperature gradients. Two calibrated thermistors were placed close together between sandwiched polystyrene discs that were ...
