Abstrak

This study evaluates the impacts of 16 different leachates of plastic-made packaging on marine species of different trophic levels (bacteria, algae, echinoderms). Standard ecotoxicological endpoints (inhibition of bioluminescence, inhibition of growth, embryo-toxicity) and alterations of ecologically significant parameters (i.e., echinoderms’ body-size) were measured following exposure under different pH water conditions: marine standard (pH 8.1) and two increasingly acidic conditions (pH 7.8 and 7.5) in order to evaluate possible variations induced by ocean acidification. The results obtained in this study evidence that the tested doses are not able to significantly affect bacteria (<i>Vibrio fischeri)</i> and algae (<i>Phaeodactylum tricornutum</i>). On the contrary, <i>Paracentrotus lividus</i> larvae were significantly affected by several packaging types (13 out of 16) with meaningless differences between pH conditions.
