Locomotion

downin worms1

1 study

  1. Bioplastic leachate impairs locomotion in worms (11%-24%).

    “by 8%-34% for plastics and by 11%-24% for bioplastics.”

    Model organisms

    Leachates from plastics and bioplastics reduce lifespan, decrease locomotion, and induce neurotoxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)

Lifespan

downin worms1

1 study

  1. Bioplastic leachate shortens lifespan in worms (7%-31%).

    “Leachates from bioplastics reduced C. elegans lifespan more compared to leachates from plastics: by 7%-31% for bioplastics and by 6%-15% for plastics.”

    Model organisms

    Leachates from plastics and bioplastics reduce lifespan, decrease locomotion, and induce neurotoxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans
