🐟 We then exposed #Zebrafish embryos to PE leachates and found changes in mRNA expression (behavior was not impacted).
🧬Affected genes are involved in #adipogenesis, lipid metabolism, and endocrine regulation. #EDC

⚗️ We found that the recycled plastic pellets contain hazardous chemicals that leach into water. Our analyses identified 84 chemicals - pharmaceuticals, pesticides and plastics additives in the water #NIAS #ToxicChemicals.
