Microfibre Ecotoxicology and Biological Uptake Studies
topic
Microfibre ecotoxicology exposes aquatic organisms including Daphnia magna, zebrafish embryos, and marine mussels to defined concentrations of textile-derived microfibres, measuring endpoints including mortality, reproduction, feeding inhibition, and gut retention to establish dose-response relationships and environmental concentration thresholds of ecological concern.
Role
Provides the biological effects data needed to establish environmentally relevant microplastic threshold concentrations and to assess whether current environmental textile microfibre concentrations pose measurable ecological risks to aquatic organisms, informing risk characterisation in textile product environmental impact assessments.
