Summary
This study investigated how combined exposure to microplastics and pharmaceutical compounds affects mussels, examining uptake into tissues, distribution across organs, and changes to metabolism. Interactions between the two pollutants produced different effects than either alone, complicating risk assessment for real-world contamination scenarios. The findings highlight the importance of studying multiple pollutants together.
