Polystyrene microplastics induce mortality through acute cell stress and inhibition of cholinergic activity in a brine shrimp

ConclusionOur results suggest that MPs exposure to the early stages of brine shrimp could be detrimental for population maintenance through inhibition of cholinergic system and the induction of acute cell stress, including oxidative stress.
