Gastropods as Suitable Models for the Assessment of Microplastic Pollution: Advances, Challenges, and Current Progress
Summary
Researchers assess gastropod molluscs as biological models for monitoring microplastic pollution, reviewing the ecotoxicological effects of microplastics on both aquatic and terrestrial gastropod species and discussing their strengths and limitations as environmental sentinels.
Gastropods have been used as models for assessing ecosystem health, including the ecotoxicological effects of traditional and emerging pollutants. Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous emerging pollutants considered as a threat to molluscs, including aquatic and land...
