Effect assessment of nano- and microplastics in freshwater ecosystems
Abstract
1. To what extent do standardized low-tier single species tests allow for the detection of effect thresholds for NP and MP at the individual level? 2. How to measure ingested, accumulated and egested number concentrations of NP and MP, maximum ingestible sizes and how to calculate trophic transfer factors (TTFs) to compare results across studies? 3. To what extent do high-tier outdoor tests allow for the detection of effect thresholds of NP and MP at the community level?
