Keywords: microfluidic devices, nanoplastics, polystyrene, toxicological assessment
This study assessed the effects of nanoplastics (NPs) using for the very first time microfluidic devices (chip) mimicking transition waters. Three kinds of NPs were tested: crushed NPs from polystyrene pellets (NP-PS), or from Guadeloupe beaches (NP-G); and latex PS (PSL-COOH). The eluted fractions from the microfluidic device showed a low aggregation of NPs. (308 characters)
