Microplastic (MP) contamination in edible mussels has raised concerns due to their potential
risk to human health. Aiming to provide valuable insights regarding the occurrence …

Beaches and coastal dunes have always supplied sand for a wide range of uses, and
initially the extracted volumes were limited to buckets, wheelbarrows, or small pickup truck …

Filter-feeder organisms such as oyster and mussels are exposed to particles like
microplastics (MPs). Although widely used to monitor MPs contamination, little is known …

This work describes the spatiotemporal analysis of microplastics (MPs) pollution in
sediments collected on a high urbanized beach located in Taghazout coast, central Atlantic …

This study investigated the abundance of microplastics in three commercial bivalves found
at Bandon Bay. Spatial-temporal differences in the concentration of microplastics were …
