Unravelling the microplastic menace: different polymers work in synergy to increase bee vulnerability

Federico Ferrante, Elisa Pasquini, Federico Cappa…·David Baracchi

This study shows that mixtures of microplastics PS and PMMA synergistically harm bee survival and immune response, alter cuticle profiles, and reduce colony detection of contaminated foragers.
