Effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of micro(nano)plastics on aquatic microorganisms: Changes in potential function but not in overall composition

Effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of micro(nano)plastics on aquatic microorganisms: Changes in potential function but not in overall composition

Micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) are a growing problem as persistent environmental pollutants. Here, we investigated the impact of MNPs on microorganisms in aquatic microbial floc exposed to NPs (80 ​nm) and MPs (8 ​μm) for 35 days. Water quality indicators were tested weekly and microbiological analyses...
