Summary

This review examined how bivalves' strong filter-feeding capacity leads to nanoplastic accumulation from surrounding water, covering accumulation dynamics, sub-lethal toxic effects across organ systems, and the implications for aquaculture food safety and bivalve-based environmental monitoring.

The strong filter-feeding capacity of bivalves makes them more prone to accumulating nanoplastic particles from their environment, posing a threat to aquaculture and food safety.
