Titre du projet de recherche : Combined effect of microplastics and pesticides on phytoplankton
Part of my project is to study whether the microplastics will affect the toxicity of pesticides to the pyhtoplankton in freshwater. I will do the toxcity experiment of microplastics alone, pesticides alone, and mixture of microplastics and pestides with different phytoplankton strains in 96 h to verify if there is an antagonistic or additive effect.
