Impacts of particulate matter (PM2.5) on the behavior of freshwater snail Parafossarulus striatulus

Abstract Fine particulate (PM2.5) is a severe problem of air pollution in the world. Although many studies were performed on examining effects of PM2.5 on human health, the understanding of PM2.5 influence on aquatic organisms is limited. Due to wet deposition, the pollutants in PM2.5 can enter aqu...
