ABSTRACT
The co-occurrence of heavy metals and microplastics (MPs) is an emerging issue that has attracted considerable attention. However, the interaction of nickel oxide nanoparticle (nano-NiO) combined with MPs in soil was poorly researched. Here, experiments were conducted to study the influence of nano-NiO (200 mg/kg) and polyethylene (PE) MPs with different concentrations (0.1, 1, and 10%) and sizes (13, 50, and 500 µm) on earthworms for 28 days. Compared to control, the damage was induced by PE and nano-NiO, which was evaluated by biomarker Integrated Biomarker Response index version 2 (IBRv2) based on six biomarkers including SOD, POD, CAT, MDA, AChE, Na+/K+-ATPase and cellulase. The majority of the chosen biomarkers showed significant but complicated responses with increasing contaminant concentrations after 28 days of exposure. Moreover, the joint effect was assessed as antagonism by the effect addition index (EAI). Overall, this work expands our understanding of the combined toxicity of PE and nano-NiO in soil ecosystems.
