Investigating microplastics and potentially toxic elements contamination in canned Tuna, Salmon, and Sardine fishes from Taif markets, KSA
Microplastics were detected in seven brands of commercially canned tuna, salmon, and sardine from Taif markets in Saudi Arabia using FTIR analysis, with various polymer types identified alongside potentially toxic elements including heavy metals in the fish tissue.
Evaluation of phthalate migration potential in vacuum-packed
Researchers investigated the potential for phthalate chemicals to migrate from vacuum packaging into benthic fish during storage. The study used micro-Raman spectroscopy and detected microplastic particles on the packaging surface, confirming a possible contamination pathway. Evidence indicates that storage time and packaging type influence the extent of phthalate migration, raising concerns about chemical exposure from plastic food packaging.
Presence of microplastics in commercial canned tuna
Synthetic microparticles were found in four commercial canned tuna brands sold in Ecuador, present in both water-packed and oil-packed products. The detection of microplastics in a widely consumed processed seafood product raises direct concerns about dietary exposure through the food supply chain.
Sorption, Extraction, and Characterization of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Environmentally Weathered Microplastics, Particulate Organic Matter, Sediment, and Fish Species in the Lavaca-Matagorda Bay System
Researchers studied how microplastics carry cancer-causing chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Lavaca-Matagorda Bay system in Texas. They found PAHs attached to microplastics, sediment, and in the digestive systems of three commercially important fish species. This shows that microplastics can act as vehicles for toxic chemicals in coastal waters, potentially affecting the safety of fish that people eat.
Detection of Microplastics in Turkish Salmon Purchased from Supermarket
Microplastics were detected in Turkish salmon purchased from supermarkets, with identification performed using stereomicroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The presence of MPs in commercially sold fish highlighted consumer dietary exposure and the penetration of microplastic pollution into the food supply.
