Effects of environmentally relevant levels of polyethylene microplastic on Mytilus galloprovincialis (Mollusca: Bivalvia): filtration rate and oxidative stress

Sami Abidli et al.

Summary: The study found that Mediterranean mussels do not accumulate PE-MPs of 40-48 μm size in their tissues, but their filtration rate decreases with increasing concentrations of PE-MPs. Biochemical markers showed that PE-MPs caused oxidative damage at low concentrations and disrupted the antioxidative system at high concentrations. This research demonstrates that PE-MPs have biological effects on marine bivalves at environmentally relevant concentrations.

The influence of different polymer types of microplastics on adsorption, accumulation, and toxicity of triclosan in zebrafish

Cheng Sheng et al.

Summary: Different types of microplastics can affect the adsorption, accumulation, and toxicity of triclosan in zebrafish, with polypropylene having the highest adsorption capacity. Co-exposure to triclosan and polypropylene microplastics significantly increased oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in the liver, as well as enhanced neurotoxicity in the brain. Microplastics contributed more to metabolic disorders in the liver compared to triclosan alone.

Microplastics physicochemical properties, specific adsorption modeling and their interaction with pharmaceuticals and other emerging contaminants

Yasmin Vieira et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the imminent threat of microplastics (MPs) associated with pharmaceuticals on the aquatic environment and public health, emphasizing their ubiquity and the interactions with environmental factors. Mathematical tools are utilized to enhance information interpretation, and the importance of MPs' sorption and interaction behavior towards organic contaminants is highlighted in understanding their dynamics in the environment. Lastly, the toxicity and bioaccumulation of MPs and pharmaceuticals are discussed.

Sergio Santana-Viera et al.

Summary: This study reports on the development of a sensitive and reliable analytical procedure for extraction and determination of pharmaceuticals adsorbed on microplastics, involving ultrasound-assisted extraction and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Good reproducibility and repeatability were achieved under optimal conditions. The method was applied to analyze samples collected from beaches in the Canary Islands, showing the presence of various analytes adsorbed on microplastics.

Daniele Sadutto et al.

Summary: The study focused on the occurrence, distribution, and risk assessment of 32 PPCPs in water, sediment, and soil in the Mediterranean coastal wetland Albufera Natural Park in Spain, as well as the influent and effluent of ten WWTPs. Results showed that certain PPCPs were detected at higher concentrations in the lake and channels, while only a few were found in the soil.

Naimul Islam et al.

Summary: The study found that microplastic ingestion and PFOS accumulation were dependent on microplastic size, but not on PFOS, with a reduction in filtration rate at the end of exposure. Reactive oxygen species were generated in gills and digestive gland as a result of exposure, confirming the disturbance of the antioxidant system.

Occurrence and removal of chemicals of emerging concern in wastewater treatment plants and their impact on receiving water systems

Oksana Golovko et al.

Summary: Wastewater treatment plants are major sources of Emerging Chemicals of Concern (CECs) in aquatic environments, impacting aquatic ecosystems. This study investigated 164 CECs at 15 locations, with CEC concentrations varying widely between WWTPs. The K-d of CECs correlated with K-ow, allowing for prediction of their distribution in water and solids. WWTP effluent had higher CEC concentrations than upstream waters, potentially impacting downstream ecosystems.

Abundance and characteristics of microplastics in retail mussels from Cape Town, South Africa

Conrad Sparks et al.

Summary: The study found that microplastics in mussels sold in Cape Town, South Africa were mainly composed of MP filaments and fragments, with blue/green and black/grey being the predominant colors. The main polymer type identified was filamentous PET. Retail mussels in Cape Town were observed to have lower concentrations of MPs compared to other investigations, suggesting a need for routine monitoring of seafood in the country.

Microplastics aggravate the bioaccumulation of three veterinary antibiotics in the thick shell mussel Mytilus coruscus and induce synergistic immunotoxic effects

Yu Han et al.

Summary: The study revealed that exposure of mussels to antibiotics and microplastics led to synergistic immunotoxic effects, including significant reductions in phagocytic rate and total hemocyte count, increases in intracellular reactive oxygen species and decreases in F-actin cytoskeleton, cell viability, and immune-related gene expression. Coexposure to antibiotic-MP also resulted in higher accumulation of antibiotics, possibly explaining the observed synergistic immunotoxic effect. Additionally, exposure to pollutants suppressed glutathione-S-transferase activity, downregulated detoxification-related genes, and induced lipid peroxidation in gills, potentially facilitating the entry of antibiotics and increasing their accumulation.
