• Presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in food, with particular focus on seafood (2016, positive): “…air as much as possible, e.g. covering of beakers, bottles, sampling equipment, etc., using fi ltered water and solutions, and careful cleaning of instruments (Liebezeit and Liebezeit, 2013, 2014; Lusher et al., 2013; De Witte et al., 2014; Sanchez et al., 2014; Van Cauwenberghe and Janssen, 2014).”
• Microplastics are taken up by mussels (Mytilus edulis) and lugworms (Arenicola marina) living in natural habitats. (2015, methodology): “In two recent papers, microplastics were detected in wild and aquaculture populations ofM. edulis and Crassostrea gigas (Mathalon and Hill, 2014; Van Cauwenberghe and Janssen, 2014).”
• Plastic Accumulation in the Mediterranean Sea (2015, background): “Recently, nanoplastic particles (in the order of tens of microns in size) were found in significant amounts in oysters and mussels cultured on the coasts of northern Europe [42].”
• Analysis of environmental microplastics by vibrational microspectroscopy: FTIR, Raman or both? (2016, background): “The microplastics pollution of mussels [29, 32, 33], which are consumed entirely (without removing the intestinal tract), as”
• Occurrence and effects of plastic additives on marine environments and organisms: A review. (2017, background): “Until now, no legislation concerning TBBPA has been applied in the European Union (Vandermeersch et al., 2015).”
• Microplastics in sediments: A review of techniques, occurrence and effects. (2015, background): “Liebezeit et al. (2012) and Imhof et al. (2013) 199 extracted microplastics from sediments using zinc chloride (ZnCl2, 1.5 – 1.7 g.cm -³), while others 200 (Dekiff et al., 2014; Van Cauwenberghe et al., 2013a; Van Cauwenberghe et al., 2013b) used a sodium 201 iodide (NaI, 1.6 – 1.8 g.cm-³) solution.”
