• Microplastics in Fish and Shellfish – A Threat to Seafood Safety? (2020, methodology): “Using the same assumptions and figures as Van Cauwenberghe et al. (2015), a large meal of bivalves would still make only a small contribution to the TDI of PCBs. Similar preliminary calculations have been made for the contribution of BPA in the human diet from microplastics in consumed bivalves.”
• Microplastics in mussels along the coastal waters of China. (2016, background): “However, fibers are not reported due to the detrimental effect of concentrated HNO3 on fibers during the isolation process of microplastics in the study of Van Cauwenberghe and Janssen (2014), Van Cauwenberghe et al. (2015).”
• Microplastics in the aquatic and terrestrial environment: sources (with a specific focus on personal care products), fate and effects (2016, methodology): “1 × 105 items/L) with diameters of 10, 30 and 90 μm led to a significant increase in energy consumption, but did not significantly affect the overall energy budget of the mussels [39].”
• Interactions of Microplastics with Freshwater Biota (2018, background): “[63] showed no significant effects of particle exposure to energy reserves (PS spheres, 10, 30, 90 μm).”
• Microplastics in commercial bivalves from China. (2015, background): “The annual dietary exposure for European shellfish consumers is estimated to reach 11,000 microplastics per year (Van Cauwenberghe and Janssen, 2014).”
