Developmental effects of micro- and nanoscale tire particles and recycled rubber on zebrafish

Creator:

Mottern, Taylor H.

Abstract:

Plastics have become an essential part of everyone lives, found in almost every product made today. Tires only make up a fraction of these products but as their use increasing so does the microplastics that flake off. Many studies have evaluated the toxic effects of tire particles on aquatic environments...

Assessing the toxicity of nanoplastics using the primary human bronchial epithelial model

Creator:

Germano, Francesca

Abstract:

Emerging data showing the presence of atmospheric microplastics (MPs) has recently raised awareness surrounding the potential of human nanoplastics (NPs) exposure. Due to factors such as weathering, UV exposure, and other biodegradation processes, plastic pollution in the environment breaks down over time into micro (<5 micrometers) and nanoscale (<1000nm) particles....
