TL;DR: This study confirms that microplastics significantly affected the toxicity of organic pollutants on microalgae and found that single microplastic and NP both inhibited algal growth, thereby causing oxidative stress.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the environmental risks posed by MOX and GAT should be given serious consideration, particularly as their use is increasing, and indicate that these antibiotics could pose considerable ecological risks at actual environmental concentrations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of nanoplastics (80 nm) on the microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa, and found that the maximum inhibition rates of 27.73, 29.64, and 11.76% on algal growth, chlorophyll a, and Fv/Fm, respectively, which were much higher than those of microplastics.

TL;DR: Production and release of microcystins were enhanced by repeated exposure to the antibiotic, and principal component analysis and Pearson's correlation revealed the accumulation of reactive oxygen species as the dominant mechanism of erythromycin toxicity to cells.

TL;DR: In this article, the chronic effect of polystyrene (PS) nanoplastics (80nm) on Chlorella pyrenoidosa was investigated, in terms of responses at the biochemical and molecular/omic level.
