Sorption of PAHs to microplastic and their bioavailability and toxicity to marine copepods under co-exposure conditions

TLDR
Cfree reduction through MP sorption was reflected in a corresponding reduction of lethality and bioaccumulation, with no difference observed between ingestible and non-ingestible MP, which indicates that only free dissolved PAHs are significantly bioavailable to copepods under co-exposure conditions with MP-sorbedPAHs.

Sorption of chemical contaminants on degradable and non-degradable microplastics: Recent progress and research trends

TL;DR: Several knowledge gaps are stated in this new line of research and it is apparent that degradable microplastics, such as polylactic acid or polybutylene succinate, have a greater affinity for hydrophobic contaminants than conventional synthetic non-degradablemicroplastics according to recent studies.

Ingested plastic transfers hazardous chemicals to fish and induces hepatic stress

TL;DR: It is shown that fish, exposed to a mixture of polyethylene with chemical pollutants sorbed from the marine environment, bioaccumulate these chemical pollutants and suffer liver toxicity and pathology, and that future assessments should consider the complex mixture of the plastic material and their associated chemical pollutants.

How do the microplastics affect PAHs bioavailability and toxicity in aquatic organisms?

The microplastics reduce the bioavailability and toxicity of PAHs in aquatic organisms, as only the free dissolved PAHs are significantly bioavailable to copepods under co-exposure conditions with MP-sorbed PAHs.
