Journal ArticleDOI

Oyster reproduction is affected by exposure to polystyrene microplastics

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that micro-PS cause feeding modifications and reproductive disruption in oysters, with significant impacts on offspring, providing ground-breaking data on microplastic impacts in an invertebrate model, helping to predict ecological impact in marine ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence and effects of plastic additives on marine environments and organisms: A review

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microplastics in seafood: Benchmark protocol for their extraction and characterization

TL;DR: The protocol using a KOH 10% solution and incubation at 60 °C during a 24 h period led to an efficient digestion of biological tissues with no significant degradation on all tested polymers, except for cellulose acetate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microplastic contamination in brown shrimp (Crangon crangon, Linnaeus 1758) from coastal waters of the Southern North Sea and Channel area.

TL;DR: The results suggest that microplastics >20μm are not able to translocate into the tissues, and the microplastic uptake was significantly higher in October compared to March.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exposure of marine mussels Mytilus spp. to polystyrene microplastics: Toxicity and influence on fluoranthene bioaccumulation.

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.
