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.
Ecotoxicity of microplastics in embryos and newly hatched snails of Biomphalaria glabrata
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed Biomphalaria glabrata snail embryos and hatchlings to polyethylene microplastics at environmentally relevant concentrations and found that while mortality and hatching rates were unaffected, embryos experienced elevated reactive oxygen species, increased cell death, and altered heart rate, indicating greater sensitivity during early development.
