Society has become increasingly reliant on plastics since commercial production began in
about 1950. Their versatility, stability, light weight, and low production costs have fueled …

As plastic debris in the environment continues to increase, an emerging concern is the
potential for microplastic to act as vectors for pathogen transport. With aquaculture the …

Microplastics in bivalves have caused widespread concern due to their potential health risk
to humans. In this study, microplastics in the digestive systems of four locally cultured bivalve …

Plastic pollution is a defining environmental contaminant and is considered to be one of the
greatest environmental threats of the Anthropocene, with its presence documented across …

Microplastics (MP; 1 μm to 1 mm) of various shapes and compositions are ingested by
numerous marine animals. Recently, proposals have been made to adopt bivalve molluscs …

We compare the toxicity of microplastics, microfibres and nanoplastics on mussels. Mussels
(Mytilus spp.) were exposed to 500 ng mL-1 of 20 μm polystyrene microplastics, 10× 30 μm …

The ubiquity and detrimental effects of plastics in the environment have become global
environmental concerns over the past decade. Intensive anthropogenic activities, such as …

Microplastics are a prolific environmental contaminant. Curbing microplastic pollution
requires an array of globally relevant interventions, including source-reduction and curative …

Microplastic (MP) and heating (T) suspected to modulate biological effects of aquatic
contaminants. Salinomycin (Sal) is veterinary antibiotic and anticancer agent. The goal of …

Microplastics (MPs) are small, plastic particles of various shapes, sizes and polymers.
Although well studied in marine systems, their roles and importance in freshwater …
