TL;DR: No significant Pearson or Spearman correlation was found between MP loads and plastic additives or HOC concentrations in bivalve tissues for the two species.

TL;DR: Analysis performed over several days demonstrated that nanoplastics formed evolving dynamic structures detected mainly with an increase of the homo-aggregation level, indicating that surface properties of given polymers/particles are expected to influence their fate in complex and dynamic aquatic environments.

TL;DR: To unravel the cytotoxicity of 2.5 μg mL-1 unlabelled amino-modified polystyrene beads on the marine diatom Chaetoceros neogracile, the strong aggregation and the negative charge of the beads assayed in the culture medium seemed to minimize particle interaction with cells and potentially associated impacts.

TL;DR: This work evidenced the importance of algae physiological state for assessing the NP impacts with interactions between NP and TEP being one key factor affecting the fate of NP in algal media and their impact to algal' cells.
