It's shellfish season!

One of the latest papers originating from the CRC 1357 (SFB Microplastics) targets a comparison of the microplastics contamination from mussels originating from all over the world. The authors investigated commercially available mussel samples and to no surprise, all mussel samples from four different mussel species contained microplastics. However, the samples from the North Atlantic and South Pacific were the most contaminated. Read the paper recently published in the journal "Environmental Pollution" to chosse the least contaminated mussels before you start into the shellfish season.
