Toxic effects of polystyrene nanoplastics on microalgae Chlorella vulgaris: Changes in biomass, photosynthetic pigments and morphology

Mehdi Khoshnamvand et al.

Summary: The presence of nanoplastics in aquatic media raises concerns about their adverse effects on aquatic organisms. This study found that amino-functionalized polystyrene nanoplastics of smaller sizes exhibited greater toxicity on green microalgae compared to larger nanoplastics. Additionally, high concentrations of nanoplastics can affect the morphology and shape of algae, potentially limiting material transport, gas exchange, and energy transfer.

Aggregation and Aggregate Strength of Microscale Plastic Particles in the Presence of Natural Organic Matter: Effects of Ionic Valence

Azizul Hakim et al.

Summary: Research has shown that aggregation of PEM particles in CaCl2 solution is more effective than in KCl solution, due to the divalent bridging and strong electrostatic attraction between Ca2+ and SRHA as well as between PEM particles. The maximum aggregate strength was found to be around 1.87 nN in the presence of 100 mg/L SRHA at 0.5 M CaCl2 solution.

Toxicity assessment of synthesized titanium dioxide nanoparticles in fresh water algae Chlorella pyrenoidosa and a zebrafish liver cell line

Abdulrahman AL-Ammari et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the toxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on freshwater algae and zebrafish liver cells. Different types of TiO2 NPs showed varying toxic effects on the cells, with short-term exposure affecting cell growth and long-term exposure leading to more significant toxicity. Cell growth was influenced by the dosage, physical properties, and interactions of TiO2 particles with the cells, highlighting the importance of particle size and dispersibility in cytotoxicity. Despite overall toxicity towards algae, the photocatalytical properties of TiO2 NPs may enhance photosynthesis at low concentrations.

Comparative toxic effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: Growth inhibition, oxidative stress, and cell morphology

Zhen Yan et al.

Summary: This study compared the toxic effects of micro-and nano-sized polystyrene microbeads on a freshwater algal species, revealing that nano-sized particles had a higher toxicity and increased levels of ROS and MDA in algal cells. Additionally, the algae increased the content of extracellular polymeric substances and antioxidant enzymatic activities to counteract the adverse effects caused by the micro-and nanoplastics.

Polystyrene particles combined with di-butyl phthalate cause significant decrease in photosynthesis and red lettuce quality*

Youming Dong et al.

Summary: This study revealed that polystyrene microplastics reduced the bioavailability of dibutyl phthalate, adversely affecting the photosynthesis and quality of red lettuce. In the presence of PS, oxidative damage increased in lettuce leaves treated with DBP, while soluble protein and sugar content decreased. Additionally, nano-sized PS had a greater inhibitory effect on lettuce growth and quality compared to micro-sized PS.

Mechanism of the inhibition and detoxification effects of the interaction between nanoplastics and microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa

Wenfeng Yang et al.

Summary: This study found that nanoplastics had higher inhibition rates on microalgae compared to microplastics, but the inhibitory effect decreased with prolonged exposure time. The mechanisms of nanoplastics' impact on algae varied at different concentrations, including gene expression inhibition, hindered DNA damage repair, and promotion of detoxification.

Ageing with algal EPS reduces the toxic effects of polystyrene nanoplastics in freshwater microalgae Scenedesmus obliquus

Sayani Giri et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of ageing EPS-coated PSNPs on the toxicity towards freshwater microalgae, showing that aged PSNPs had significantly lower toxic effects compared to pristine forms. The surface functionalization of PSNPs and the duration of ageing played a significant role in influencing the toxic effects. Improved cell viability and photosynthetic efficiency were observed with decreased levels of reactive oxygen species. The principal component analysis helped in better understanding how ageing of PSNPs influenced various biological parameters.
