Summary

Researchers investigated the combined effects of microplastics and suspended sediment on mussels under controlled experimental conditions, examining how co-exposure to these two particulates alters physiological responses compared to single-stressor exposures. The study addressed interactions between two common aquatic stressors to better predict realistic environmental impacts on filter-feeding bivalves.
