Researchers have found tiny pieces of plastic in all the samples of mussels they tested in British seawaters and bought from local supermarkets. The scientists said the contamination from microplastics and other human debris, such as cotton and rayon, was significant and widespread. Mussels feed by filtering seawater. The team says more work is needed to understand the health implications of consuming the seafood. [Source: BBC News]
