Journal ArticleDOI

Rossana Sussarellu,Marc Suquet,Yoann Thomas,Christophe Lambert,Caroline Fabioux,Marie Eve Julie Pernet,Nelly Le Goïc,Virgile Quillien,Christian Mingant,Yanouk Epelboin,Charlotte Corporeau,J. Guyomarch,Johan Robbens,Ika Paul-Pont,Philippe Soudant,Arnaud Huvet +15 more
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
Microplastics in sediments: A review of techniques, occurrence and effects.
TL;DR: There is a clear need for a standardized techniques, unified reporting units and more realistic effect assessments of the possible adverse effects of microplastics in sediments, according to this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quality assessment of the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis): comparison between commercial and wild types
B. De Witte,Lisa Devriese,K. Bekaert,S. Hoffman,G. Vandermeersch,Kris Cooreman,Johan Robbens +6 more
TL;DR: This study compared species identity, microplastics, chemical and microbial contamination between consumption mussels and wild type mussels, collected at Belgian department stores and Belgian groynes and quaysides, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastic contamination in brown shrimp (Crangon crangon, Linnaeus 1758) from coastal waters of the Southern North Sea and Channel area.
Lisa Devriese,Myra D. van der Meulen,Thomas Maes,Karen Bekaert,Ika Paul-Pont,Laura Frère,Johan Robbens,A. Dick Vethaak +7 more
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
A critical view on microplastic quantification in aquatic organisms
Griet Vandermeersch,Lisbeth Van Cauwenberghe,Colin R. Janssen,António Marques,Kit Granby,Gabriella Fait,Michiel Kotterman,Jorge Diogène,Karen Bekaert,Johan Robbens,Lisa Devriese +10 more
TL;DR: A detailed analysis and comparison of methods indicated the need for further research to develop a standardised operating protocol for microplastic quantification and monitoring.
