Small Microplastics (5–100 µm), Additives, and Plasticizers in Mytilus Galloprovincialis, A Potential Bioindicator for Microplastics Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers analyzed small microplastics (5–100 micrometers), along with chemical additives and plasticizers, found inside Mediterranean mussels widely consumed by humans. The study suggests mussels could serve as reliable bioindicators of microplastic pollution and raises concern about chemical exposure through seafood consumption.
As the definition reported by ECHA, microplastics (MPs) can hold within additives and plasticizers; they are part of microlitter together with natural and non-plastic synthetic fibers.
