Microplastic contamination worsens the ecotoxicity of chlorpyrifos to cladoceran Ceriodaphnia cornuta (Sars, 1885) and Echinisca triserialis (Brady, 1886)
•
in Ecotoxicology This research highlights how microplastics intensify the toxic effects of chlorpyrifos, a widely used organophosphate pesticide, on two key aquatic invertebrates: Ceriodaphnia cornuta and Echinisca triserialis. These results underscore the dual threat of chemical pollutants and plastic debris in aquatic ecosystems. The study provides evidence that microplastic–pesticide interactions…
