Your lunch might be feeding you a mouthful of microplastics with each bite. Here are some microplastic-prone foods that you ...

Microplastics were detected in almost every seafood sample found off the coast of the western U.S. in a recent study, researchers claim. The study, led by Portland State University (PSU ...

Since microplastics usually start out in an animal’s gut, seafood which includes the animal’s stomach, like mussels, oysters, and other filter-feeding animals, may be more likely to carry ...

"The presence of microplastics in commercial seafood is well-documented on a global scale for finfish as well as shellfish like mussels, clams, oysters, and shrimp," Dr. Britta Baechler, Associate ...

Microplastics and other human-made particles are widespread in the seafood that we eat and could be damaging our health. A recent study by scientists at Portland State University (PSU)'s Applied ...

A 2020 study of microplastics in five different types of seafood found plastic in every sample the researchers tested, suggesting that microplastics do find their way into our food products. This ...

Microplastics abound in the ocean and are often eaten by sea creatures, which means the particles could also make their way into our bodies when we consume seafood.. To work out the risk ...
