Microplastics Found in Lobster Tails in N.S. Study

A study from Dalhousie University discovered microplastics in lobster meat off Nova Scotia, finding an average of six to seven particles per gram. The researchers analyzed 16 lobsters from various locations, noting the smallest particles averaged 3.65 micrometers. While the concentration in lobsters was deemed low compared to other foods, the seafood industry urged for broader studies on microplastics in various food sources. Health implications remain uncertain, with experts emphasizing the need for further research.
