• Low levels of microplastics (MP) in wild mussels indicate that MP ingestion by humans is minimal compared to exposure via household fibres fallout during a meal. (2018, background): “…of 1.5 MPs / g ww Mytilus spp, the amount of particles observed in our study shows lower levels of plastic contamination in wild caught mussels, such as for M. galloprovincialis (3 particles / g ww) (Li et al., 2015), and for Scottish M. edulis (4.44 particles / g ww) (Courtene-Jones et al., 2017).”

• Marine litter plastics and microplastics and their toxic chemicals components: the need for urgent preventive measures (2018, background): “Based on the abundances observed, it was estimated that Chinese shellfish consumers could be exposed to 100,000 s of microplastics each year [23, 77].”
• Presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in food, with particular focus on seafood (2016, positive): “According to Table 1, Chinese mussels contained the highest number of microplastics: median value 4 particles/g (Li et al., 2015).”
• Interaction of toxic chemicals with microplastics: A critical review. (2018, background): “2 items/individual of a Chinese fishery market (Li et al., 2015).”
• Microplastics in Fish and Shellfish – A Threat to Seafood Safety? (2020, background): “Other bivalves have also been analyzed, and the content in nine different commercial species obtained from a fish market in China varied from 2.1 to 10.5 microplastic items per gram (Li et al. 2015).”
• Microplastics in bivalves and their habitat in relation to shellfish aquaculture proximity in coastal British Columbia, Canada (2019, result): “We found 0.16 ± 0.22 MPs ind.−1 in Manila clams, while a previous study conducted in one of our experimental regions, Baynes Sound, reported 11.3 and 8.4 MPs clam−1 on/off shellfish aquaculture sites (Davidson & Dudas 2016) and a study in China reported 5.7 MPs clam−1 (Li et al. 2015).”
• Microplastics in mussels along the coastal waters of China. (2016, methodology): “Floatation and filtration of microplastics with saline (NaCl) solution A prefiltered ( 1 mm) saturated saline solution (1.2 g/mL) was used to separate the microplastics from dissolved liquid of the soft tissue via floatation (Li et al., 2015).”
