Characteristics, Abundance and Polymer Type of Microplastics in Anadara granosa (Blood Clam) from Coastal Area of Palopo City

Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in blood clams collected from coastal waters near Palopo City, Indonesia. As filter feeders, these bivalves are particularly vulnerable to ingesting microplastic particles, and the study documented the abundance and polymer types found in their tissues. The findings raise concerns about human exposure to microplastics through the consumption of commonly harvested shellfish.

Spatial Distribution of Microplastic Contamination in Blood Clams (anadara Granosa) on the Jeneponto Coast, South Sulawesi

Researchers mapped the distribution of microplastic contamination inside blood clams (Anadara granosa) harvested along the Jeneponto coast of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The highest microplastic levels were found in clams from mangrove ecosystems and residential waterways, while river areas showed the lowest contamination. Because blood clams are widely eaten as a daily food source, these findings raise direct concerns about microplastic ingestion by local populations.

Keberadaan mikroplastik pada kerang darah (Anadara granosa) dari TPI Tambak Lorok, Semarang

Researchers in Semarang, Indonesia, found microplastics in blood cockles (Anadara granosa) sold at a local fish market, with fibers and fragments being the most common types identified under microscopy. The study also tested whether washing the shellfish before analysis affected results, finding contamination was present regardless. Because blood cockles are a widely consumed seafood in the region and are filter feeders that concentrate particles from the water column, this finding signals a direct route for microplastic ingestion by local populations.
