Over the past 20 years, nano/microplastics have become a prominent environmental concern of the public and scientific community. The difference between model microplastic particles used in the laboratory with the MPs that exist in the environment and the low ecological relevance of the data obtained from single species experiments are two knowledge gaps that must be overcome before a comprehensive ecological risk assessment on MPs can be conducted. Therefore, this study examined the effects of 1
<i>Eucommia ulmoides</i> Oliver staminate flower (ESF) tea enjoys a good reputation in folk medicine and displays multiple bioactivities, such as antioxidant and antifatigue properties. However, the underlying biological mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether ESF tea can mitigate cellular oxidative stress. Crude ethyl alcohol extract and its three subfractions prepared by sequential extraction with chloroform, n-butyl alcohol and residual water were pre
Microplastic (MP) pollution represents a significant environmental threat, impacting aquatic ecosystems and human health. This review examines critical elements of MP risk assessment, including exposure pathways, properties (polymer type, size, and shape), bioaccumulation, and ecological and health effects. It underscores the challenges of quantifying MP exposure and identifying pollutants, as well as gaps in understanding pollutant adsorption/desorption and biofilm impacts. MPs serve as carrier
