In-depth characterization revealed polymer type and chemical content specific effects of microplastic on Dreissena bugensis
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a dataset file supporting a published laboratory study on how polymer type and chemical content of microplastics affect the freshwater mussel Dreissena bugensis. The data include real-time valvometry and laser Doppler anemometry measurements.
The files contain datasets that were generated during laboratory-based real-time valvometry, and laser doppler anemometry measurements. The article was published in Journal of Hazardous Materials (accepted June 8, 2022).

In-depth characterization revealed polymer type and chemical content specific effects of microplastic on Dreissena bugensis
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed the freshwater mussel Dreissena bugensis to well-characterized microplastics of different polymer types and chemical compositions, finding that toxic effects varied by polymer type and additive content rather than particle size alone, highlighting the importance of chemical characterization in microplastic ecotoxicology studies.
Interaction with two microplastic types by an adult freshwater mussel produces differences in ingestion and egestion patterns
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset accompanies a study showing that freshwater mussels interact differently with two types of microplastics, producing distinct patterns in how much plastic they ingest and how much they expel. Understanding these differences matters because bivalves are filter feeders that can either accumulate or help remove microplastics from water, with implications for both ecosystem health and food safety.
In-depth characterization revealed polymer type and chemical content specific effects of microplastic on Dreissena bugensis
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed the freshwater mussel Dreissena bugensis to multiple types of environmentally realistic microplastics and found that different polymer types caused different biological effects, suggesting that polymer chemistry and associated additives — not just particle size and shape — determine how harmful microplastics are to filter-feeding organisms. This challenges the use of polystyrene spheres as a universal model for microplastic toxicity testing.
