Abstract

Pollution of the aquatic environment by microplastic
could be having a massive impact on marine life. As far as the dimensions of
the microplastics decrease, the negative effects are also increasing.  In this study, the effects of 1 µm diameter
polystyrene microplastics (PSMs) on Daphnia
magna and Neocaridina davidi were
investigated. The acute toxicity test was conducted on Daphnia magna. According to the test LC₅₀ value was
calculated as 808.97 μg/mL. According to genotoxic evaluation on Neocaridina davidi with single cell gel
electrophoresis (Comet), tail length, tail intensity and tail moment were
increased by PSMs compared to the control. 

Keywords
