Ecotoxicity of plastic leachates on aquatic plants: Multi-factor multi-effect meta-analysis

Despite heightened awareness of plastic contamination, a comprehensive understanding of the ecotoxicity of plastic leachates remains challenging due to discrepancies in previous findings and complexities in the effects of myriad factors. Herein, we proposed a multi-factor multi-effect plastic-leachate ecotoxicology meta-analysis approach (PLEM) to elucidate the ecotoxicity of plastic leachates on aquatic plants. To distinguish the leachate …
