摘要: Microplastics (MP) are contaminants of environmental concern partly due to plastics ability sorb and transport hydrophobic organic (HOC). The importance this "vector effect" is currently being debated in the scientific community. This debate largely ignores that co-exposures MP HOC mixtures hazardous agents, which can be addressed from a mixture toxicity perspective. In study, effects polyethylene microbeads triclosan (TCS) (a commonly used antibacterial agent cosmetics) were assessed on marine copepod Acartia tonsa. Data indicated potentiate TCS, illustrating understanding interaction between when addressing vector effect.
