Ingestion, depuration and translocation kinetics of microplastics in Blue Mussels ("Mytilus edulis")
AI summary
Researchers developed an automated analysis pipeline for processing µFTIR spectral data from microplastic samples, reducing operator time and improving measurement reproducibility. The pipeline incorporated automated baseline correction, library matching, and particle classification, enabling high-throughput analysis of large environmental sample sets.

Microplastics Uptake and Egestion Dynamics in Pacific Oysters, Magallana Gigas (Thunberg, 1793), Under Controlled Conditions
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers studied how Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas) ingest and egest microplastics under controlled conditions, finding that ingestion rates were rapid and dose-dependent while egestion was slower, resulting in temporary accumulation that increases the oysters' exposure to adsorbed pollutants and pathogens during the retention period.
