Journal ArticleDOI
The presence of microplastics in commercial salts from different countries
Ali Karami,Abolfazl Golieskardi,Cheng Keong Choo,Vincent Larat,Tamara S. Galloway,Babak Salamatinia +5 more
TL;DR: The results, the low level of anthropogenic particles intake from the salts (maximum 37 particles per individual per annum) warrants negligible health impacts, however, to better understand the health risks associated with salt consumption, further development in extraction protocols are needed to isolateanthropogenic particles smaller than 149 μm.
Journal ArticleDOI
A high-performance protocol for extraction of microplastics in fish.
Ali Karami,Abolfazl Golieskardi,Cheng Keong Choo,Nicholas Romano,Yu Bin Ho,Babak Salamatinia +5 more
TL;DR: Treating biological materials with a 10% KOH solution and incubating at 40°C was both time and cost-effective, efficient in digesting biological materials, and had no impact on the integrity of the plastic polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virgin microplastics cause toxicity and modulate the impacts of phenanthrene on biomarker responses in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus).
TL;DR: Results of this study highlight the ability of virgin LDPE fragments to cause toxicity and to modulate the adverse impacts of Phe in C. gariepinus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics in eviscerated flesh and excised organs of dried fish
TL;DR: Surprisingly, in two species, the eviscerated flesh contained higher MP loads than the excised organs, which highlights thatevisceration does not necessarily eliminate the risk of MP intake by consumers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastic and mesoplastic contamination in canned sardines and sprats
Ali Karami,Abolfazl Golieskardi,Cheng Keong Choo,Vincent Larat,Samaneh Karbalaei,Babak Salamatinia +5 more
TL;DR: The findings of this study suggest their quantification to be included as one of the components of food safety management systems, due to the possible increase in micro- and mesoplastic loads in seafood products over time.
