<p>For this study, a number of 240 adult healthy female zebrafish were divided into 12 tanks (20 fish per tank) and exposed to 0 (control, T0), 0.1 (T1), 1 (T2), and 10 (T3) mg/L synthesized polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs, Nanoplastic synthesized in the chemistry laboratory of Faculty of Basic Sciences at Zabul University) for 4 weeks. At the end of the experiment, exposure to PS-NPs had no significant affect the survival of female zebrafish (p > 0.05).

The level of 17β estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) were notably declined in female zebrafish of all PS-NPs-exposed groups (p &lt; 0.05).
