“…Interestingly, 1 and 10 μm PS unexpectedly significantly increased D. magna reproduction at 12.5 mg/L [ 81 ]. The co-existence of PS and other contaminants could cause synergistic toxicity on D. magna reproduction, such as PS and DM [ 52 ], PS and Gly [ 53 ], PS and benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) [ 94 ] and PS-COOH and zinc (Zn) [ 95 ]. PE reduced the D. magna reproduction in a dose-dependent manner at 5, 20 and 40 mg/L [ 83 ].…”

It is impossible to overlook the effects of microplastics on aquatic life as they continuously accumulate in aquatic environments. Aquatic crustaceans, as both predator and prey, play an important role in the food web and energy transmission. It is of great practical significance to pay attention to the toxic effects of microplastics on aquatic crustaceans. This review finds that most studies have shown that microplastics negatively affect the life history, behaviors and physiological functions of aquatic crustaceans under experimental conditions. The effects of microplastics of different sizes, shapes or types on aquatic crustaceans are different. Generally, smaller microplastics have more negative effects on aquatic crustaceans. Irregular microplastics have more negative effects on aquatic crustaceans than regular microplastics. When microplastics co-exist with other contaminants, they have a greater negative impact on aquatic crustaceans than single contaminants. This review contributes to rapidly understanding the effects of microplastics on aquatic crustaceans, providing a basic framework for the ecological threat of microplastics to aquatic crustaceans.

“…Authors concluded that the observed sublethal effects were polymer-specific, related to the size and shape of the polymer, and do not result from particle exposure per se , revealing that MP toxicology is shape and size-dependent. Accordingly, Monikh et al indicated that the toxicity potency of nanoscale plastic debris is influenced by their chemical compositions and size, concluding that data generated for the toxicity of one type of nanoscale plastic debris, may not be extrapolated to other types of plastic waste ( 21 ). Moreover, the fact that properties of synthetic mass-produced polymers of daily use are changing as a function of time spent in the environment, further complicates the risk assessment of these particles.…”

The human health impact of exposure to micro (MP) and nanoplastics (NP) from food remains unknown. There are several gaps in knowledge that prevent a complete risk assessment of them. First, the fact that some plastics may be chemically harmful, either directly toxic themselves or because they absorb and carry other components, which makes these particles may possess 3 types of hazards, physical, chemical and biological. In addition, the levels at which toxic effects may occur are unknown and there is a lack of studies to estimate the levels to which we are exposed. Plastic particles can induce physical stress and damage, apoptosis, necrosis, inflammation, oxidative stress and immune responses, which could contribute to the development of diseases such as cancer, metabolic disorders, and neurodevelopmental conditions, among others. In addition, they may have effects on other pathologies that have not yet been studied, such as food allergy, where they could act modifying the digestibility of food allergens, increasing intestinal permeability, promoting an intestinal inflammatory environment or causing intestinal dysbiosis, which could promote food allergen sensitization. However, given the limited information on the presence of MP and especially NP in food, further research is needed to estimate whether they could amplify the risk of allergic sensitization to food proteins and to elucidate the risk to human health.

“…In fact, the fundamental ecotoxicological relevance and precision of the traditional exposure metrics (particle number counts or mass-based effect concentrations) when assessing the hazard have not been resolved (de Souza Machado et al, 2019). Some risk assessors report toxicity in mass-based (Mehinto et al, 2022) other in particle number-based exposure (Galloway et al, 2017; Horton et al, 2017; Monikh et al, 2022). Therefore, lack of hazard data and questions on the exposure metrics and intra-species variability contribute to criticism (Connors et al, 2017) on proposed regulatory action by authorities.…”

Background Current regulatory discussions about microplastics are often questioned on the basis of a lack of data indicating high ecotoxic hazards of these particles within standard recognized definitions. Moreover, there is scientific debate on what metrics to report the micro-nanoplastics toxicity (i.e. mass or particle counts-based exposure). We present here the high potential sensitivity of three genotypically different clones of the European Daphnia longispina species complex exposed to non-functionalized polystyrene nanobeads of 50 nm and 100 nm in diameter according to adapted OECD 202 test protocol. Results EC50s 48h varied from 0.2 to 8.9 mg L− 1 (mean 2.49 mg L− 1) for 50 nm beads, and from 32.7 to 90.3 mg L− 1 (mean 59.39 mg L−1) for the 100 nm. EC10s 48h varied from 0.0007 to 7.5 mg L− 1 (mean 0.28 mg L− 1) for 50 nm beads, and from 25.5 to 69.1 mg L− 1 (mean 47.51 mg L− 1) for the 100 nm. Inter-clonal variability was about 10-fold. Therefore, several 1000s-fold variations in mass-based ecotoxicity for these polystyrene beads could be observed if particle size and Daphnia genotype are considered jointly. Conclusions Such ecotoxicity potential is comparable to highly toxic chemicals in global and EU-based regulatory classification and labelling. Ecotoxicity based on particle counts suggested convergence of EC50s, with effects generally observed around 1011 to1015 particles L− 1. The present results highlight the potential high hazard of these particles and the relevance of particle size and exposure metrics on hazard conclusion.
