Nanoplastic Ecotoxicity Review with Co-Exposures and Climate Change, 2020-2025

A literature review synthesizing peer-reviewed studies from 2020 to 2025 on the physiological effects of nanoplastics in freshwater organisms. The review focuses on co-exposures with other pollutants like metals and pesticides and the influence of climate change stressors. It was authored by Analía Ale and published on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze synergistic toxicity interactions based on the review of co-exposure scenarios with metals and pesticides.
• Model the impact of rising temperatures on nanoplastic toxicity based on climate change findings.
• Identify research gaps for freshwater model organisms like Chlorella spp., Daphnia magna, and Danio rerio.
• Study pollutant vector mechanisms like the Trojan horse effect described in the review.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific and emerging pollutant (nanoplastics) with a defined literature scope from 2020 to 2025.
• Examines realistic multi-stressor scenarios including co-pollutants and climate change variables.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 663.7 KB PDF literature review, not a primary data collection; scope is limited to synthesized findings.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; the content is textual analysis.
• The review notes a predominant focus on a few model species, which may limit generalizability.
