Key Points

The aim is to visualize the toxic effects of combined nanoplastics and heavy metal ions using a specific imaging tool.
Developed a fluorescent probe responsive to biothiols for visualization.
Performed in situ imaging to assess combined exposure.
Utilized co-exposure models to understand stress effects.
Successfully demonstrated imaging of co-exposure stress in real-time.
Identified the combined toxic effects of nanoplastics and metal ions.
Provided a new method for studying environmental contaminants.

Abstract

Visualizing the combined toxic effects of micro(nano)plastics and heavy metal ions remains challenging due to the lack of suitable in situ imaging tools, and current co-exposure models often simplify by...
