What is Microplastics in Mussel Circulatory System about?
1) The study investigated whether microscopic plastic particles ingested by mussels (Mytilus edulis) could translocate from the gut to the circulatory system. 2) Mussels were exposed to seawater containing either 3.0 or 9.6 μm polystyrene microplastic particles. 3) The microplastic particles translocated from the gut to the circulatory system within 3 days and persisted for over 48 days, with smaller particles being more abundant than larger ones.
