Ecotoxicological effects of chemical contaminants adsorbed to microplastics in the clam Scrobicularia plana

Although microplastics (MPs) are distributed globally in the marine environment, a great deal of unknowns relating to their ecotoxicological effects on the marine biota remains. Due to their lipophilic nature, microplastics have the potential to adsorb persistent organic pollutants present in contam...
