A Quantitative Analysis of Microplastic Ingestion in Northern New York Bivalves

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers quantified microplastic ingestion in bivalves collected from northern New York waterways, measuring particle counts and types across multiple species. Bivalves are filter feeders that bioaccumulate microplastics directly from their environment, making them both sentinels of freshwater contamination and a dietary exposure route for humans who consume shellfish.
