Overview

Assessment identifies microplastics from PP and PET do not affect Hediste diversicolor behavior or metabolism, indicating resilience.

Key Points

  • Polychaeta Hediste diversicolor exhibited no adverse effects from microplastics over 4 or 28 days of exposure.
  • Conjugation metabolism was inhibited in the presence of microplastics, while antioxidant activity varied with exposure duration.
  • Behavioral traits and phase I metabolic activities remained unchanged, showing resilience of H. diversicolor to microplastic exposure.
  • This research highlights the complex interactions between microplastics and aquatic organisms, warranting further exploration.
