In vitro toxicity from a physical perspective of polyethylene microplastics based on statistical curvature change analysis

Microplastics which are gradually and randomly decompose into small fragment by exposure of physical and biological external stress are emerging as a significant threat to the all the environments. Here, we have demonstrated the in vitro toxicity of microplastics of two different shapes. To minimize the chemical effect, polyethylene (PE), was used. PE microplastics with two different shapes were prepared, high-density PE microbeads and...
