The combined toxicity influence of microplastics and nonylphenol on microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa.

This study confirms that microplastics significantly affected the toxicity of organic pollutants on microalgae. Further research on the combined toxicity of smaller size microplastics with pollutants in chronic toxicity is needed. PMID: 32200150 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
