Micro and Nanoplastic Contamination and Its Effects on Freshwater Mussels Caged in an Urban Area

Micro and Nanoplastic Contamination and Its Effects on Freshwater Mussels Caged in an Urban Area

Plastic-based contamination has become a major cause of concern as it pervades many environments such as air, water, sediments, and soils. This study sought to examine the presence of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in freshwater mussels placed at rainfall/street runoff overflows, downstr...
