Integrated toxicological assessment of environmental microplastics and diuron on Mytilus galloprovincialis Larvae: Toward improved marine risk management
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted the first combined toxicity study of environmental microplastics and the herbicide diuron on Mediterranean mussel larvae at environmentally relevant concentrations, finding that their mixture produced more severe developmental toxicity than either contaminant alone.
Small Microplastics (5–100 µm), Additives, and Plasticizers in Mytilus Galloprovincialis, A Potential Bioindicator for Microplastics Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers analyzed small microplastics (5–100 micrometers), along with chemical additives and plasticizers, found inside Mediterranean mussels widely consumed by humans. The study suggests mussels could serve as reliable bioindicators of microplastic pollution and raises concern about chemical exposure through seafood consumption.
Insights on Ecotoxicological Effects of Microplastics in Marine Ecosystems: The EPHEMARE Project
AI summary Read the abstract
The EPHEMARE project systematically examined microplastic ecotoxicology across multiple marine species and life stages, finding that effects depend strongly on particle size, polymer type, concentration, and co-exposure with chemical pollutants. These multi-species results underscore the complexity of real-world microplastic risk and the limitations of single-species laboratory studies.
The Effects of Microplastic Pollution on Marine Organisms and its Impact on Human Health: A Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics affect major marine taxa — from plankton to marine mammals — documenting impacts including reduced growth and reproduction, behavioral disruption, and inflammatory responses, while also assessing pathways through which MP-contaminated seafood and drinking water translate ocean pollution into risks for human health.
Advances in quantification, degradation and ecotoxicology of microplastics in marine resources
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed quantification methods, degradation processes, and ecotoxicological effects of microplastics in marine resources, finding that bivalves, fish, and invertebrates accumulate plastic particles that trigger oxidative stress, cytotoxicity, and inflammation while current detection methods for nanoplastics remain underdeveloped.
