Ecotoxicological consequences of polystyrene naturally leached in pure, fresh, and saltwater: lethal and nonlethal toxicological responses in Daphnia magna and Artemia salina

Polystyrene is widely used in disposable products and is now a ubiquitous plastic pollutant in aquatic environments, where it degrades into smaller particles that leach potentially toxic chemicals. However, knowledge regarding the impacts of plastic leachates remains limited. This study investigates...
