Summary

An integrative study exposed Mediterranean mussels to polypropylene microplastics and pyrene for 7 and 14 days, finding combined exposure caused greater DNA damage, oxidative stress, and physiological impairment than either pollutant alone in heavily polluted coastal conditions.

The data are produced within the study to investigate the onsequences of microplastic pollution and pyrene on Mytilus galloprovincialis. We present an integrative assessment of polypropylene (PP) and pyrene, individually and in co-exposure, in mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. Mussels were exposed to 1 mg L- 1 PP (~40 μm) and 50 μg L- 1 of pyrene for 7 and 14 days, representing a scenario relevant to highly polluted coastal areas. The study was published in Marine Pollution Bulletin 222 (2026) 118880.
