The measurement of 131I-labeled microplastic accumulation in dog conch (Laevistrombus canarium) using radiotracing method
摘要
This study aims to evaluate the bioaccumulation of microplastics in dog conch (Laevistrombus canarium) using polystyrene microplastics labeled with Iodine-131 as a radiotracer with variations in water salinity (30, 32, and 34 g L−1) and microplastic concentrations (0.9625, 1.925, and 3.85 m g L−1). The results showed that optimal bioaccumulation occurred at a salinity of 32 g L−1 and the lowest microplastic concentration, indicating physiological limitations in the accumulation process. The radiotracer method proved effective in sensitively and real-time detecting microplastic accumulation. These findings highlight the importance of environmental parameters on microplastic bioaccumulation and their implications for the health of marine organisms.
