Asian Clams as Bioindicators for Microplastics in Tennessee Freshwater
Abstracts with programs - Geological Society of America

Summary
Researchers investigated whether Asian clams (Corbicula fluminea) can serve as reliable biological indicators of microplastic pollution in Tennessee freshwater systems. Because clams filter large volumes of water, they may accumulate microplastics in ways that reflect environmental contamination levels, making them useful monitoring tools.
