Elucidating the negatively influential and potentially toxic mechanism of single and combined micro-sized polyethylene and petroleum to Chlorella vulgaris at the cellular and molecular levels

Although microplastics (MPs; <5 mm) may interact with co-contaminants (e.g., petroleum) in marine aquatic systems, little is known about their combined toxicity. Therefore, this study explored the toxicities and their mechanisms of micro-sized polyethylene (mPE) and their combination with petrole...
