Occurrence of potential plastic microfibers in mussels and anchovies sold for human consumption: Preliminary results
There is a global concern over the impact of microplastics on marine species and trophic webs. Microfibers commonly represent the greater portion of microplastics in the aquatic environment, but little is known about fiber uptake and accumulation by marine biota. The aim of the study was to investig...
