Locomotor behavior of Neocaridina palmata: a study with leachates from UV-weathered microplastics

Weathering of plastics leads to the formation of increasingly smaller particles with the release of chemical compounds. The latter occurs with currently unknown environmental impacts. Leachate-induced effects of weathered microplastics (MPs) are therefore of increasing concern. To investigate the to...
