- Abstract
- Plastic additives may accelerate adverse effects of microplastics (MPs). This study aimed to identify the role of benzophenone-3 (BP-3) additive (10.82 +/- 1.20% w/w) in chronic toxicity of polyethylene MP fragments to Daphnia magna (D. magna). MP fragments with and without BP-3 (48.37 +/- 6.26 and 44.39 +/- 11.16 mu m, respectively) were synthesized and 4 d-old D. magna were exposed for 17 d. Daphnids exposed to MP/BP-3 fragments (98%) showed higher survival than those exposed to MP fragments (62%), which can be explained by a significantly low (p < 0.0001) bioconcentration of MP/BP-3 fragments. BP-3 leachate induced significantly low (p < 0.05) phototactic behavior of D. magna, likely leading to the low bioconcentration of MP/BP-3 fragments. Unlike MP fragments, both MP/BP-3 fragments and BP-3 additive inhibited embryonic development and offspring growth in a similar manner. Additionally, only BP-3 additive significantly induced (p < 0.05) higher lipid peroxidation in D. magna. This study suggests the critical role of plastic additives in MPs chronic toxicity to aquatic organisms, which should be further identified for other environmentally relevant plastic additives.
