Do polystyrene microparticles affect the early-life stages of zebrafish (Danio rerio)?
Original language description
Animal Protection and Welfare and Veterinary Public Health, Mendel University, Czech Republic Plastic waste pollution is considered one of the biggest problems facing our planet, which is caused mainly by an excessive use of this material, its high resistance in the environment and poor waste management. Under mechanical and biological degradation, plastics can be broken down into smaller fragments. Microplastics have been discovered in the bodies of various organisms, across all trophic levels of the aquatic environment. Although many studies have focused on the impact of MPs on aquatic organisms, only a small number of them study the effect of MPs on early developmental stages of fish. The tested organism zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been widely used as an emerging disease model to investigate human genetics and earlystage development due to its high similarity with the human genome and in addition, zebrafish embryos are transparent, making it possible to reveal a disorder or malformation caused by exposure to MPs.
