The occurrence and accumulation of microplastics in wildlife and humans have become a serious global scale concern over the last decade. To evaluate the potential toxic effects of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) microplastics in freshwater fish larvae, we conducted chronic 30-day and 60-day dietary exposur...
