Effects of microplastics on key reproductive and biochemical endpoints of the freshwater microcrustacean Daphnia magna

In conclusion, the herein tested MPs have shown the potential to induce deleterious effects on D. magna mainly observed in terms of the reproductive outcomes. Changes at the biochemical level seems transient and are not likely to occur in long term, environmentally exposed crustaceans.PMID:38583695 | DOI:10.1016/j.cbpc.2024.109917
