Brachionus plicatilis

1. Uv-b radiation decreases polymethyl methacrylate microplastics in B. plicatilis.

   “UV-B radiation exposure inhibited the bioaccumulation of PMMA MPs by B. plicatilis, especially for those from water phase”

   Model organismsexposure to PMMA microplasticsat natural intensity

   UV-B radiation reduced the susceptibility of Brachionus plicatilis to microplastics by decreasing their toxic effects and bioaccumulation

2. Uv-b radiation extends lifespan in B. plicatilis.

   “prolonged lifespan, decreased filtering and feeding rates, enhanced antioxidant abilities and activated apoptotic processes caused by UV-B radiation”
