Out of sight but not out of mind: Size fractionation of plastics bioaccumulated by field deployed oysters

Microplastics contamination has been widely reported in filter feeders yet the < 1 μm size fraction has been largely ignored. In attempt to characterize this sub 1 μm size fraction and better understand the size distribution of microplastics contamination in filter feeders, field deployed oysters...
