Cellular internalization and release of polystyrene microplastics and nanoplastics

Science of The Total Environment, 2021
Microplastics and nanoplastics can accumulate in organisms after being ingested, be transported in the food web, and ultimately threaten human health. An understanding of the cellular internalization and release of micro(nano)plastics is important to predict their cytotoxicity.

Effects of polystyrene nanoplastic gestational exposure on mice

Chemosphere, 2023
Airborne plastic particles have received increasing attention due to their ubiquity in the atmosphere and potential human health risks. Previous studies have demonstrated that early-life exposure to environmental toxicants is associated with abnormal metabolic function.

In vitro wheat protoplast cytotoxicity of polystyrene nanoplastics

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Nanoplastics are an emerging environmental pollutant, having a potential risk to the terrestrial ecosystem. In the natural environment, almost all the micro-or nano-plastics will be aged by many factors and their characterizations of the surface will be modified.

Reduction in Toxicity of Polystyrene Nanoplastics Combined with Phenanthrene through Binding of Jellyfish Mucin with Nanoplastics

Nanomaterials, 2022
Mucin (Mu), a biological substance extracted from jellyfish (Aurelia aurita), was used to reduce the toxic effect of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NP) combined with phenanthrene (Phe) in the aquatic environment of zebrafish (Danio rerio), among other aquatic organisms.

Toxicity of polystyrene nanoplastics and zinc oxide to mice

Chemosphere, 2021
The toxicity of zinc oxide (ZnO NPs) and polystyrene nanoplastics (PS NaPs) has been tested in different animal models; however, knowledge about their impact on mice remains incipient. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effects of these nanomaterials on Swiss mice after their individual exposure to a binary combination of them.

Recognition and movement of polystyrene nanoplastics in fish cells

Environmental Pollution, 2023
Although nanoplastics are being increasingly scrutinized, little is known about their kinetic behavior in living organisms, especially in cellular systems. Herein, nonspecific interactions of three polystyrene nanoplastics (pristine-PS, NH2-PS, and COOH-PS, with size range of 90-100 nm and at concentrations of 0-100 μg mL-1) with zebrafish cells were ...

Effects of polystyrene nanoplastics on lead toxicity in dandelion seedlings

Environmental Pollution, 2022
Increasing rates of commercialization and industrialization have led to the comprehensive evaluation of toxic effects of microplastics on crop plants. However, research on the impact of functionalized polystyrene nanoplastics on the toxicity of heavy metals remains limited.

Extraction and Quantification of Polystyrene Nanoplastics from Biological Samples

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022
Accurate quantification of nanoplastics (NPs) in complex matrices remains a challenge, especially for biological samples containing high content of organic matters. Herein, a new method extracting and quantifying polystyrene (PS) NPs from biological samples was developed.

The distribution and impact of polystyrene nanoplastics on cucumber plants

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2020
Microplastic pollution in farmlands has become a source of major concern, but few previous studies have focused on the effect of microplastics on higher plants. In this study, the distribution of polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) of four different particle sizes (100, 300, 500, and 700 nm) was investigated in cucumber plants, and their influence on ...

Polystyrene micro- and nanoplastics cause placental dysfunction in mice

Biology of Reproduction, 2023
Abstract Maternal exposure to microplastics and nanoplastics has been shown to result in fetal growth restriction in mice. In this study, we investigated the placental and fetal hemodynamic responses to plastics exposure in mice using high-frequency ultrasound.
