Assess the microplastic prevalence and characterization in bivalve (Lamellidens marginalis): implications for freshwater ecosystems and human health
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in 373 freshwater mussels from West Bengal, India, finding an average of 3.76 MPs per gram in gastrointestinal tissue and 1.48 MPs per gram in muscle tissue, with red and black fibers most common and polymer types confirmed via Raman spectroscopy, highlighting implications for food safety and ecosystem health.
Microplastics in Freshwater Environments: Sources, Fates and Toxicity
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the sources, environmental fate, and toxicity of microplastics in freshwater ecosystems, finding that microplastics cause physical injury and histological damage to aquatic organisms and act as vectors amplifying the toxicity of co-occurring chemical pollutants.
Current State of Research on the Prevalence of Microplastics in Aquatic Fish and Their Impact on Health
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic contamination in fish across all seven continents, finding marine fish were studied 2.6 times more than freshwater species, and that microplastics trigger oxidative stress, alter biochemical pathways, and accumulate through biotransformation in fish tissues globally.
Microplastics in freshwater ecosystem: A serious threat for freshwater environment
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic distribution, toxicity, and transport in Indian freshwater ecosystems, finding that rivers like the Ganges are significant conduits of plastic pollution to the ocean and that microplastics can adsorb co-pollutants such as heavy metals, compounding harm to aquatic organisms.
