TL;DR: The results of this study highlight that L. stagnalis are resilient to acute exposures to microplastics and PBDEs, and thatmicroplastics are unlikely to influence HOC accumulation or the microbiome of this species over short timescales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Earthworms ingest microplastic fibres and nanoplastics with effects on egestion rate and long-term retention.
Elma Lahive,Richard Cross,Aafke I. Saarloos,Alice A. Horton,Claus Svendsen,Rudolf Hufenus,Denise M. Mitrano +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used microplastic fibres and nanoplastics (NPs) containing inorganic tracers (In, Pd) to quantify uptake in the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris.
Book ChapterDOI
Plastic waste in the terrestrial environment
TL;DR: In this article, a large volume of scientific research and public and media attention has been paid to the presence and risks associated with plastic in the ocean, with a particular focus on small plastic particles, microplastics, in the marine environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extending standard testing period in honeybees to predict lifespan impacts of pesticides and heavy metals using dynamic energy budget modelling

TL;DR: Extended 240 hour exposures were used to examine seven agrochemicals and trace environmental pollutant toxicities for adult honeybees to examine potential survival effects up to 30 day and 90 day summer and winter worker lifespans and found honeybees were most sensitive to insecticides and trace metals/metalloids.
