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: No significant Pearson or Spearman correlation was found between MP loads and plastic additives or HOC concentrations in bivalve tissues for the two species.

TL;DR: Overall, this study suggests that plastic gear used in the pearl-farming industry releases significant amounts of hazardous chemicals over their lifetime, which may affect pearl oyster development that call for in-situ exploration.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that the antioxidant additive Irgafos® 168 is ubiquitous in the laboratory workplace and should be carefully considered in future studies that require setting up methods to overcome these contaminations.
