AB  - Toxicity of polyethylene microplastics (PE-MP) of size ranges similar to their 
      natural food to zooplanktonic organisms representative of the main taxa present 
      in marine plankton, including rotifers, copepods, bivalves, echinoderms and fish, 
      was evaluated. Early life stages (ELS) were prioritized as testing models in 
      order to maximize sensitivity. Treatments included particles spiked with 
      benzophenone-3 (BP-3), a hydrophobic organic chemical used in cosmetics with 
      direct input in coastal areas. Despite documented ingestion of both virgin and 
      BP-3 spiked microplastics no acute toxicity was found at loads orders of 
      magnitude above environmentally relevant concentrations on any of the 
      invertebrate models. In fish tests some effects, including premature or reduced 
      hatching, were observed after 12 d exposure at 10 mg L(-1) of BP-3 spiked PE-MP. 
      The results obtained do not support environmentally relevant risk of 
      microplastics on marine zooplankton. Similar approaches testing more hydrophobic 
      chemicals with higher acute toxicity are needed before these conclusions could be 
      extended to other organic pollutants common in marine ecosystems. Therefore, the 
      replacement of these polymers in consumer products must be carefully considered.
