Summary
This South African study investigated mussels as biomonitors of microplastic fiber pollution along the KwaZulu-Natal coast, developing novel laboratory methodology for accurately estimating fiber uptake — supporting mussels' role as a standard indicator species for coastal plastic contamination.
A novel macro-based methodology for accurate estimation of microplastic fibre uptake in mussels under laboratory conditions (In preparation).
