TL;DR: Gut microbiota analysis found that the combined exposure of MPs and DEHP also caused alterations in gut microbiota composition, especially some energy metabolism and immune function related bacteria were significantly changed in the relative abundance.

TL;DR: The metabolomic mechanism was revealed to be that the coexposure of BHA and MPs affected the development of zebrafish larvae via disturbing the metabolism of arachidonic acid, glycerophospholipid, and lipids.

TL;DR: Compared with virgin MPs and PAEs alone, PAE-contaminated MPs induced enhanced reproductive toxicities manifested by greater alterations in sperm physiology and spermatogenesis, which provide valuable insights into the mechanism of combined toxicity of MPs and other pollutants.

TL;DR: The proposed method can efficiently digest feces solids and extract MPs with higher recovery rate, less intermediate steps and less damage, which can serve as an economical and feasible method for the detection of MPs in the feces of different species.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dewaterability of activated sludge in response to chronic exposure (60 days) to MPs of different sizes (213.7 nm ~ 4.2 mm) and polymers (polystyrene, polyethylene, and polyvinyl chloride) were investigated.
