A recent study done by Portland State University (PSU) revealed a disturbing reality: microplastics were found in nearly every seafood sample examined along the western coast of the United States.
These “anthropogenic particles”—materials created or altered by humans—were discovered in the edible tissues of six common species: black rockfish, lingcod, Chinook salmon, Pacific herring, Pacific lamprey, and pink shrimp.
Microplastics were found in 180 of the 182 seafood samples tested. Pink shrimp had the highest concentration, and Chinook salmon had the lowest. According to Elise Granek, a microplastics researcher and study co-author, “We found that the smaller organisms that we sampled seem to be ingesting more anthropogenic, non-nutritious particles.”
This is not an isolated finding.
