Ingestion and Depuration of Polyester Microfibers by Crassostrea Gasar (adanson, 1757).
Marine environmental research(2024)
摘要
The study aimed to obtain environmentally relevant microfibers (MFs) from polyester fabric and assess their impact on the oyster Crassostrea gasar. MFs were obtained by grinding the fabric, and their accumulation in oysters gills and digestive glands was analyzed after exposure to 0.5 mg/L for 2 and 24 h. Additionally, a 48 h depuration was conducted on the oysters exposed for 24 h. Sublethal effects were assessed in oysters exposed for 24 h and depurated for 48 h, using biomarkers like Catalase (CAT), Glutathione S-transferase (GST), and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx), along with histological analyses. Polyester fabric grinding produced significant MFs (average length: 570 mu m) with degraded surface and increased malleability. Oysters showed increased MF accumulation in digestive glands post-exposure, with no impact on antioxidant enzymes. Depuration decreased MFs accumulation. Histological analysis revealed accumulation in the stomach and brown cells, possibly indicating inflammation. This raises concerns about MFs bioaccumulation in marine organisms, impacting the food chain and safety.
