Persistent plastics, with an estimated lifetime for degradation of hundreds years in marine conditions, can break up into micro- and nanoplastics over shorter timescales, thus facilitating their uptake by biota throughout the food chain. These polymers may contain chemical additives contaminants, including some known endocrine disruptors that be harmful at extremely low concentrations biota, posing potential risks to ecosystems, biodiversity availability. Although there is still need carry...
Abstract Microplastics have become pervasive environmental pollutants in both freshwater and marine ecosystems. The presence of microplastics been recorded the tissues many wild fish species, laboratory studies demonstrated that can exert adverse health effects. To further investigate biological mechanisms underlying toxicity we applied an integrated approach, analyzing effects at transcriptomic, histological behavioral level. Adult zebrafish exposed to two concentrations high-density...
The Mediterranean Sea is greatly affected by marine litter. In this area, research on the impact of plastic debris (including microplastics) biota, particularly large filter-feeding species such as fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus), still in its infancy. We investigated possible overlap between microplastic, mesoplastic and macrolitter accumulation areas feeding grounds a pelagic Specially Protected Area Importance (SPAMI): Pelagos Sanctuary. Models ocean circulation potential habitat were...
PAEs concentrations can serve as tracer of plastics ingestion by marine organisms.
