“…Nanoplastics may have a greater impact than MPs due to their dimensions and specific colloidal properties since they might cross biological barriers [14] and potentially become hazardous for living organisms [15]. Moreover, the nanoplastic high surface area would increase interactions with other contaminants (organic pollutants [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], trace elements [25,26]) and with natural colloids (inorganic colloids, organic matter, biopolymers) [27][28][29][30][31].…”

“…Few studies have addressed the impacts produced by PS NPs/MPs combined with POPs in non-selective filter-feeders [ 29 , 31 ]. The potential transfer of C 14 phenanthrene (0.05–1.2 mg/L) in co-exposure with two different sized PS particles (50 nm NPs and 10 µm MPs; 2.5–14.5 mg/L and 2.5–50 mg/L, respectively) was evaluated in Daphnia magna .…”

The occurrence of nanoplastics (NPs) and microplastics (MPs) in aquatic ecosystems and their capacity to sorb hydrophobic pollutants is nowadays an issue of great concern. This study aimed to assess the potential bioavailability and acute toxicity of polystyrene (PS) NPs (50 and 500 nm) and of MPs (4.5 µm), alone and with sorbed benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P), in the embryo/larval stages of brine shrimps and zebrafish. Exposure to pristine plastics up to 50.1 mg PS/L did not cause significant impact on brine shrimp survival, while some treatments of plastics-B(a)P and all concentrations of B(a)P (0.1–10 mg/L) resulted acutely toxic. In zebrafish, only the highest concentrations of MPs-B(a)P and B(a)P caused a significant increase of malformation prevalence. Ingestion of NPs was observed by 24–48 h of exposure in the two organisms (from 0.069 to 6.87 mg PS/L). In brine shrimps, NPs were observed over the body surface and within the digestive tract, associated with feces. In zebrafish, NPs were localized in the eyes, yolk sac, and tail at 72 h, showing their capacity to translocate and spread into the embryo. MP ingestion was only demonstrated for brine shrimps. In zebrafish embryos exposed to plastics-B(a)P, B(a)P appeared in the yolk sac of the embryos. The presence of B(a)P was also noticeable in brine shrimps exposed to 500 nm NPs-B(a)P. In conclusion, NPs entered and spread into the zebrafish embryo and PS NPs, and MPs were successful vectors of B(a)P to brine shrimp and zebrafish embryos. Particle size played a significant role in explaining the toxicity of plastics–B(a)P. Our study provides support for the idea that plastics may pose a risk to aquatic organisms when combined with persistent organic pollutants such as B(a)P.

“…Of the 57 studies reviewed for arthropods, 15 addressed the interaction between plastic particles and chemicals. These chemicals included benzophenone (Beiras et al 2018), fluoranthene (Bergami et al 2016(Bergami et al , 2017Horton et al 2018;Vicentini et al 2019), humic acid (Fadare et al 2019;Wu et al 2019a), PCBs (Gerdes et al 2019;Lin et al 2019a;Watts et al 2015), phenanthrene (Ma et al 2016), gold (Pacheco et al 2018), BPA (Rehse et al 2018), PAHs (Tosetto et al 2016), palmitic acid (Vicentini et al 2019) and roxithromycin (Zhang et al 2019). Several effects at the subcellular, individual and population levels were seen in arthropods upon exposure to nano-or microplastics combined with these chemicals.…”

Plastic pollution is a widespread environmental problem that is currently one of the most discussed issues by scientists, policymakers and society at large. The potential ecotoxicological effects of plastic particles in a wide range of organisms have been investigated in a growing number of exposure studies over the past years. Nonetheless, many questions still remain regarding the overall effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on organisms from different ecosystem compartments, as well as the underlying mechanisms behind the observed toxicity. This chapter provides a comprehensive literature review on the ecotoxicological impacts of microplastics and nanoplastics in terrestrial and aquatic organisms in the context of particle characteristics, interactive toxicological effects, taxonomic gradients and with a focus on synergies with associated chemicals. Overall, a total of 220 references were reviewed for their fulfilment of specific quality criteria (e.g. experimental design, particle characteristics, ecotoxicological endpoints and findings), after which 175 were included in our assessment. The analysis of the reviewed studies revealed that organisms’ responses were overall influenced by the physicochemical heterogeneity of the plastic particles used, for which distinct differences were attributed to polymer type, size, morphology and surface alterations. On the other hand, little attention has been paid to the role of additive chemicals in the overall toxicity. There is still little consistency regarding the biological impacts posed by plastic particles, with observed ecotoxicological effects being highly dependent on the environmental compartment assessed and specific morphological, physiological and behavioural traits of the species used. Nonetheless, evidence exists of impacts across successive levels of biological organization, covering effects from the subcellular level up to the ecosystem level. This review presents the important research gaps concerning the ecotoxicological impacts of plastic particles in different taxonomical groups, as well as recommendations on future research priorities needed to better understand the ecological risks of plastic particles in terrestrial and aquatic environments.
