Suitability of aquatic mosses for biomonitoring micro/meso plastics in freshwater ecosystems

Abstract: Background Mesoplastics (5–25 mm) and microplastics (0.001–5 mm) are emerging pollutants of great concern. However, reliable methods of monitoring these types of plastic in river ecosystems have not yet been established. The goal of this work was to evaluate, for the first time, the suitability of Fontinalis antipyretica as a biomonitor of meso- and micro-plastics in rivers. With this aim, native samples of the moss and devitalized moss clones, held inside the bags, were compared for the uptake… Show more

“…It is worth noting that, until now, studies on aquatic moss species have been relatively limited and mainly referred to their study as effective biomonitoring tools (Carrieri et al 2022;Real et al 2021;Świsłowski et al 2023;Zotina et al 2024). This study was the first to demonstrate the ability of the aquatic moss V. dubyana to produce biogenic amines: histamine, tryptamine, tyramine, kynurenine, and kynurenic acid.…”

“…The model mosses employed in these studies include species Physcomitrium patens, Sphagnum fallax, Ceratodon purpureus, etc. To date, studies on aquatic moss species have been relatively limited and have mainly focused on their use as effective biomonitoring tools (Carrieri et al 2022;García et al 2023;Monaci et al 2021;Świsłowski et al 2023;Zotina et al 2024). Similarly, sporadic work was conducted on the aquatic mosses Calliergon cordifolium, Drepanocladus lycopodioides (Amblysteglaceae), and Fontinalis antipyretica.…”
