Abstract

The issue of microplastics (MPs) has emerged as a significant concern globally, with discussions surrounding the potential environmental impact of these tiny plastic particles becoming increasingly prevalent. This study aimed to identify the concentration and characteristics of MPs in hemolymph and organs (gills and hepatopancreas) of green mussels (Perna viridis) that are frequently consumed by people in Pangkajene Kepulauan, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Green mussels were collected from two different sampling sites for comparison. Screening was carried out on dispensed hemolymph and dissected organs to identify the characteristics of MPs. Surface seawater sampling was added as information on MP's characteristics from the mussel habitat. Visual observation of MP's characteristics using a stereomicroscope in laminar flow is to prevent contamination. The identification of MP's polymer type is using FTIR-ATR. The results showed that hemolymph, hepatopancreas, gills, and surface water were concentrated with MPs. Small (2-3.9 cm) green mussels accumulated more MPs than medium (4-5.9 cm) and large (> 6 cm). MPs characteristics of fiber shape, transparent color, and size 0.1-0.5 mm were dominant in all samples. A total of seven polymers of MPs were identified with polyethylene and polystyrene types most frequently found from all samples. Based on this study, green mussels are good for biomonitoring of MPs.

鲈鱼血淋巴和器官（鳃和肝胰脏）中的微塑料污染。

微塑料（MPs）问题已成为全球关注的一个重要问题，围绕这些微小塑料颗粒对环境的潜在影响的讨论也越来越普遍。本研究旨在确定印度尼西亚南苏拉威西省Pangkajene Kepulauan地区人们经常食用的绿贻贝（Perna viridis）血淋巴和器官（鳃和肝胰脏）中MPs的浓度和特征。从两个不同的采样点采集绿贻贝进行比较。对分配的血淋巴和解剖的器官进行筛选，以确定 MPs 的特征。此外，还采集了表层海水样本，作为贻贝栖息地中 MP 特性的信息。为防止污染，在层流中使用体视显微镜目测 MP 的特征。使用傅立叶变换红外-原子吸收光谱鉴定 MP 的聚合物类型。结果表明，血淋巴、肝胰腺、鳃和表层水中都富含 MP。小绿贻贝（2-3.9 厘米）比中绿贻贝（4-5.9 厘米）和大绿贻贝（大于 6 厘米）积累了更多的 MPs。所有样本中的 MPs 都具有纤维形状、透明颜色和 0.1-0.5 毫米大小的特征。共鉴定出七种 MPs 聚合物，其中聚乙烯和聚苯乙烯类型在所有样本中最常见。根据这项研究，绿贻贝是对 MPs 进行生物监测的好材料。

期刊介绍： Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology provides a place for the publication of timely, detailed, and definitive scientific studies pertaining to the source, transport, fate and / or effects of contaminants in the environment. The journal will consider submissions dealing with new analytical and toxicological techniques that advance our understanding of the source, transport, fate and / or effects of contaminants in the environment. AECT will now consider mini-reviews (where length including references is less than 5,000 words), which highlight case studies, a geographic topic of interest, or a timely subject of debate. AECT will also consider Special Issues on subjects of broad interest. The journal strongly encourages authors to ensure that their submission places a strong emphasis on ecosystem processes; submissions limited to technical aspects of such areas as toxicity testing for single chemicals, wastewater effluent characterization, human occupation exposure, or agricultural phytotoxicity are unlikely to be considered.
