Summary
This conference poster examined the use of amphipod crustaceans as bioindicators of microplastic pollution, investigating the occurrence of small microplastics (5-100 micrometers), plastic additives, and plasticizers in Monocorophium insidiosum. Amphipods are widely distributed bottom-dwelling animals that could serve as accessible sentinel species for monitoring microplastic contamination in coastal sediments.
