Scientists studying bioaccumulation patterns are uncovering how microplastic particles migrate from open-ocean garbage patches into commercially harvested fish and shellfish—and the findings are reshaping what we know about food safety. PAC Lab examines the latest data, the species most at risk, and what consumers can realistically do with this infor PAC Lab Environmental Science Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:25:59 GMT
