Abstract Surfactants are used for a variety of applications as emulsifiers, solubilizers, or foaming agents. Their intensive production and use in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics agricultural products have resulted their continuous discharge the environment, especially via wastewaters. become threat to living organisms, they interact with, disrupt, cell membranes macromolecules. effects mainly been studied aquatic species; however, terrestrial organisms also threatened by these emerging contaminants. In this context, study investigates two widely nonionic surfactants, Tween-20 Triton X-100 on key traits fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. We assessed toxicity surfactants viability, development time, body size food intake flies. The results revealed that both induced toxic drosophila flies leading decreased delayed lowered consumption at highest tested concentrations. For all tested, appeared more than Tween-20. Both proved be flies, might extend other invertebrates. widespread substances, which then end up should regulated mitigate impacts biodiversity ecosystems.

Exposure to micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) has been implicated in potential cardiotoxicity. However, vitro models based on cardiomyocyte cell lines lack crucial cardiac characteristics, while interspecies differences animal compromise the reliability of conclusions. In addition, current research predominantly focused single-time point exposures MNPs, neglecting comparative analyses injury across early late stages. Moreover, there remains a large gap understanding susceptibility MNPs under pathological conditions. To address these limitations, this study integrated organoids (COs) organ-on-a-chip (OoC) technology develop organoid-on-a-chip (COoC), which was validated for cardiotoxicity evaluation through multiple dimensions. Based COoC, we conducted dynamic observation damage caused by short- long-term exposure polystyrene (PS-NPs). Oxidative stress, inflammation, disruption calcium ion homeostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction were confirmed as mechanisms PS-NP-induced events stages, fibrosis emerged prominent feature Notably, low-dose exacerbated myocardial infarction symptoms states, despite no significant shown healthy models. conclusion, findings further deepened our cardiotoxic effects introduced promising platform assessing

Abstract The amount of plastic waste is increasing exponentially worldwide, and the environmental impact microplastics (MPs) correspondingly significant. Developing photocatalysts capable degrading MPs a critical area research. However, wide variation in experimental conditions for photocatalytic degradation poses challenges conducting comparative studies advancing efficient photocatalyst design. Since polyethylene (PE) TiO 2 are among most extensively studied materials photocatalysts, respectively, this review focuses on recent advances PE using ‐based photocatalysts. examines mechanisms summarizes protocols preparation MPs, assessment systems. Additionally, it introduces methods quantifying degraded compares recently reported efficiencies, accounting variations parameters. This aims to contribute establishment standardized laboratory‐scale protocol

Insects, being among the most diverse and abundant organisms in terrestrial ecosystems, are inevitably exposed to ubiquitous micro- nanoplastic contaminants. Although studies on impact of these contaminants insects gradually emerging, they remain limited scope. In this study, we investigated biological traits (including foraging behavior, food assumption, digging ability, body weight survival) Japanese carpenter ant, Camponotus japonicus, response exposure polystyrene (PS-M/NP) solutions containing three particle sizes (0.05, 1 50 μm) four concentrations (0.1, 1, 10 mg/mL). The results showed that worker ants exhibited significant preference consumption for non-contaminated multiple-choice experiments, indicating C. japonicus can differentiate avoid feeding PS-M/NP-contaminated solutions. Meanwhile, PS-M/NPs significantly reduced ability no-choice with smallest size (0.05 highest concentration (50 mg/mL) resulting longest pre-foraging period, lowest percentage licking amount consumption. addition, sand removed by ants, survival a dramatic decline decrease size, increase prolonged time study confirm have an adverse effect time-dependent manner, small high longer key factors decreasing behavior insect.

Because of their diversity, microplastics (MPs), which are synthetic particles smaller than 5 mm, highly bioavailable and widely distributed. The prevalence in aquatic habitats has been extensively studied but less is known about presence terrestrial environments biota. This study examined MP intake utilizing gastrointestinal tracts (GITs), with a particular focus on the Turkish worm lizard (Blanus strauchi). Suspected discovered GITs were removed, measured, characterized based size, shape, color, polymer type order to evaluate ingestion. Out 118 samples analyzed, 29 specimens (or 24.57%) had microplastic particlesMP length did not significantly correlate snout–vent (SVL) weight. These correlations tested determine whether size or weight Blanus strauchi influenced amount MPs found within GITs. Also, consumption by year sampling. All identified as fibers through FT-IR spectroscopy analysis. most common was polyethylene terephthalate (PET). often detected color blue, mean lengths ranging from 133 µm 2929 µm. It demonstrated that lizards inhabiting soil sheltering under stones bushy areas sparse vegetation consume MPs. Predation regarded be likely way infiltrate food webs.
