The presence of microplastics (MPs) was determined in Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819) and grooved carpet shell (Ruditapes decussatus Linnaeus, 1758) together with water samples from in İzmir Bay (Aegean Sea, Western Turkey). A total of 895 MPs from Karşıyaka (Station 1), and 787 MPs from Gülbahçe (Station 2) were detected in 60 mussel samples, giving a total content of 1682 MPs. In water samples, a total of 545 MPs were detected in samples from Station 1 and 1287 MPs in samples from Station 2 (1832 MPs total). The amount of MPs in water samples was less in Station 1 than in Station 2. This difference is probably caused by Çiğli Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) located near Station 1. Public health risk assessment on the consumption of the species M. galloprovincialis revealed that 70.82 items person⁻¹ year⁻¹ MPs through this species could enter consumers' digestive systems.

在地中海贻贝 ( Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819) 和带凹槽的地毯壳 ( Ruditapes decussatus Linnaeus, 1758) 以及来自伊兹密尔湾（土耳其西部爱琴海）的水样中确定了微塑料 (MPs) 的存在。在 60 个贻贝样本中检测到来自 Karşıyaka（1 号站）的 895 名 MP 和来自 Gülbahçe（2 号站）的 787 名 MP，总含量为 1682 名 MP。在水样中，站点 1 的样本中总共检测到 545 MPs，站点 2 的样本中检测到 1287 MPs（总共 1832 MPs）。站点 1 中水样中 MP 的含量低于站点 2。这种差异可能是由位于站点 1 附近的 Çiğli 污水处理厂 (WWTP) 造成的。 对该物种消耗的公共卫生风险评估M. galloprovincialis透露，70.82 项人^-1 年^-1 MPs 通过该物种可以进入消费者的消化系统。
