A preliminary analysis of microplastics in edible versus non-edible tissues from seafood samples. (2020)
Journal Article
Akoueson, F., Sheldon, L., Danopoulos, E., Morris, S., Hotten, J., Chapman, E., …Rotchell, J. (2020). A preliminary analysis of microplastics in edible versus non-edible tissues from seafood samples. Environmental pollution, 263, pt. A(August), Article 114452. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2020.114452

Plastics have been widely reported to be present in the environment yet there are still many questions regarding the extent of this and the impacts these may have on both the environment and human health. The purpose of this investigation is to deter... Read More about A preliminary analysis of microplastics in edible versus non-edible tissues from seafood samples..

Influence of light and temperature cycles on the expression of circadian clock genes in the mussel Mytilus edulis (2020)
Journal Article
Chapman, E., Bonsor, B., Parsons, D. R., & Rotchell, J. (2020). Influence of light and temperature cycles on the expression of circadian clock genes in the mussel Mytilus edulis. Marine environmental research, 159, Article 104960. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marenvres.2020.104960

Clock genes and environmental cues regulate essential biological rhythms. The blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, is an ecologically and economically important intertidal bivalve undergoing seasonal reproductive rhythms. We previously identified seasonal...

PVC Does Not Influence Cadmium Uptake or Effects in the Mussel (Mytilus edulis) (2020)
Journal Article
Li, J., Chapman, E. C., Shi, H., & Rotchell, J. M. (2020). PVC Does Not Influence Cadmium Uptake or Effects in the Mussel (Mytilus edulis). Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 104(3), 315-320. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00128-020-02789-x

Microplastics have become a global concern in recent years. In this study, we studied (i) whether the presence of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) microparticles may affect cadmium (Cd) uptake in mussel (Mytilus edulis); and (ii) the biological effects of PV...
