| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In mussels from Tokyo Bay, on average, 5 pieces of microplastics were detected in their digestive tract. Fragments were dominant over fibers. Polyethylene and ethylene-propylene co-polymers were dominant. MP with size range from 20 to 80 micrometer was majority. Incubation experiments indicate 4 days to 8 days of residence time of MP in the digestive tract. If concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) would reach to equilibrium, MP-mediated exposure of POPs would be negligible. On the other hand, concentrations of some chemicals such as additives with high hydrophobicity would be far beyond the equilibrium, MP-mediated exposure of the chemicals could be important.
