The presence of cationic polyacrylamide attenuated the toxicity of polyvinyl chloride microplastics to anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge

Xiang Tang et al.

Summary: The addition of cationic polyacrylamide (cPAM) was effective in alleviating the toxicity of PVC microplastics on the anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge, leading to increased methane production and overall efficiency of the anaerobic system. This positive impact was mainly attributed to cPAM reducing leaching of bisphenol-A (BPA) and the efficiency of reactive oxygen species (ROS) entering the microbial cells.

The reactive oxygen species as pathogenic factors of fragmented microplastics to macrophages

Soyeon Jeon et al.

Summary: This study investigated the toxicity of microplastics on different cell lines and found that microplastics showed significant toxicity to THP-1 macrophages, with toxicity correlated to the generation potential of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Weathering process reduced the ROS generation potential of microplastics, as weathered microplastics had increased affinity to bind serum protein acting as ROS scavenger.
