Ecotoxicological effects of polyethylene microplastics, with and without adsorbed contaminants, on the clam Scrobicularia plana (da Costa, 1778) using a multi-biomarker approach

The potentially detrimental impacts of plastic debris on the marine biota are numerous and diverse with deleterious physical effects recorded. Microplastics, defined as plastic particles ≤ 5mm, are of particular concern due to their ubiquitous distribution in the marine environment. Low density poly...
