Turning microplastics into nanoplastics through digestive fragmentation by Antarctic krill

"Planktonic suspension and filter feeders may be the most susceptible to microplastic ingestion due to the relatively indiscriminate nature of this feeding strategy" https://t.co/7ZHRmu6ufX

@Sedat_Gundogdu1 @LitRivus @CuspResearch @AuroraProjectEU @imptox @plasticheal @plasticsfate @PolyriskScience In this paper, krill from #Antarctica fragmented 31.5 um #microplastic to smaller sizes in the intestines, it seems and it was proposed that t…

@jenni_pro @wastefreephd Not sure if this is one you are thinking of but my paper talks about inert particles passing through zooplankton https://t.co/eIltNc6Cy9

@schuerc @wastefreephd @PartridgeCG @AliciaMateos_ Yes! We currently have a PhD student in our team who has seen fragmentation of fibres by fish. I've documented fragmentation in crab and krill. This is my fave mp topic! https://t.co/eIltNc6Cy9 Also ch…
