Safety assessment of copper- and zinc-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for embryonic development and adult fish of Oryzias melastigma.

The increasing prevalence of harmful algal blooms (HABs), specifically those resulted by toxigenic Alexandrium spp., notably threats human health and aquatic ecosystem. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs), particularly copper- and zinc-based MOFs have emerged as promising materials to control HABs.

Combined effects of polystyrene nanoplastics and dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX1) on physiological performance of marine diatom Thalassiosira minima.

Currently micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) and microalgal toxins have become two typical groups of emerging contaminants in various coastal regions worldwide. However, the knowledge about their combined effects on marine organisms is still limited. This study explored the single and combined effects of polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) at 50 mg L and dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX1) at 1 µmol L (819 μg l) on the diatom Thalassiosira minima.
