Polystyrene nanoplastics exacerbate cadmium-induced bioenergetic impairment and oxidized phospholipid accumulation in the mussel Mytilus coruscus.
The coexistence of nanoplastics and conventional heavy metals poses a serious ecological threat to marine ecosystems, yet the specific mechanisms underlying their synergistic toxicity remain unclear. This study employed a comprehensive approach, encompassing tissue cadmium quantification, biochemical assays, real-time...
