The aim of this review was to identify the current knowledge regarding the concentration of
microplastics in bivalves in the marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments. For this …

This review deals with the measurement of filtration rates in suspension feeding bivalves.
Currently used methods are described, and some reliable filtration rate data obtained under …

Aquatic ecosystems are globally contaminated with microplastics (MP). However,
comparative data on MP levels in freshwater systems is still scarce. Therefore, the aim of this …
