TL;DR: This work identified polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), phthalates, nonylphenols (NP), bisphenol A (BPA) and antioxidants as the most common plastic additives found in marine environments and transfer of these plastic additives to marine organisms has been demonstrated both in laboratory and field studies.

TL;DR: Results suggest that under the experimental conditions of this study micro-PS led to direct toxic effects at tissue, cellular and molecular levels, and modulated fluoranthene kinetics and toxicity in marine mussels.

TL;DR: A "green" analytical method enabling the accurate and simultaneous routine analysis of 21 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in reduced quantities of marine biota samples using alkaline digestion combined with stir bar sorptive extraction-thermal desorption-gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SBSE-GC-MS/MS).

TL;DR: Mussels chronically exposed to contamination have set up metabolic adaptation, which may contribute to their survival in the moderately contaminated harbor of Brest, suggesting metabolic changes could, at least partially, offset the negative effects of contamination.

TL;DR: The results revealed that fish acutely exposed to chemically dispersed oil remained impaired in terms of their hypoxia tolerance and swimming performance, but not in temperature susceptibility for 1 month post-exposure, but these functional impairments had no subsequent ecological consequences under mildly selective environmental conditions.
