Popis: Mussels are among the marine species most affected by microplastics (MPs) and MP-leaching additives, including bisphenols (BPs), due to their particular characteristics such as widespread distribution, easy accessibility, stationary lifespan and high tolerance to varying environmental conditions. The meat of the commercially most important bivalve molluscs is consumed whole, without evisceration. For this reason, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has classified bivalve molluscs as a food category to be further evaluated for potential risk associated with bivalve-related MPs. EFSA has recently reduced the Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) for bisphenol A (BPA) to a 0.2 ng BPA/kg body weight/day. A comprehensive analysis of MP particles cannot be performed with a single method and requires a combination of analytical approaches. Therefore, the four-year PLASTICSHELL project has undertaken the detection and characterization of emerging contaminants, including MPs and potentially hazardous additives and monomers of MP, BPA and its analogues in shellfish collected from 22 production areas along the Croatian Adriatic coast, using stereomicroscopy, Pyr-GC/MS and LC-MS/MS. Accordingly, PLASTICSHELL will estimate the exposure to MPs and BPs associated with shellfish consumption. The findings will contribute to the evaluation, comparison and standardisation of research data on MPs and potentially hazardous additives.
