Impact of Microplastic in Mexican Coastal Areas Using Mussels (<em>Mytilus</em> spp.) as Biomonitors
Microplastics (MP) are plastic fragments smaller than 5 mm found in water columns and sediments, posing a threat to marine life due to their toxicological potential for the absorption and release of harmful compounds such as heavy metals. Mussels exhibit high filtration rates with the ability to bio...
