Fate of Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), A Common Flame Retardant, In Polystyrene-Degrading Mealworms: Elevated HBCD Levels in Egested Polymer but No Bioaccumulation

@oceanofyouth @OurOcean @AsmTinaMcKinnor @5gyres @Conserve_CA Here’s our paper looking at that very question! https://t.co/n5mqEJxZd0

@HeideAnderson @Bigrig_North Here's another interesting one . Maybe you would like it . " Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), A Common Flame Retardant, In Polystyrene-Degrading Mealworms: Elevated HBCD Levels in Egested Polymer but No Bioaccumulation " https…

Mealworms can eat plastic as not only a normal diet meal but as well as properly digesting them https://t.co/5uYy5GFYcb

@lex_zilla528 I'm seeing how fast they can do this. The problem is bioaccumulation of toxins. They have shown to breakdown toxins and not bioaccumulate. But more research is needed. Also engineering such a system as scale is a challenge. https://t.co/iU…
