Enhanced in vitro toxicity of plastic leachates after UV irradiation

•Differently formulated plastic pellets are evaluated.•Plastics release chemicals that are toxic in in vitro bioassays.•UV irradiation exacerbates the plastics’ toxicity.•UV induces toxicity in plastics of low chemical complexity.•UV weathering generates low-molecular fragments. Plastics can release...
