Popis: The increasing deposition of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic ecosystems is a worldwide concern. MPs can interact with other environmental pollutants, such as heavy metals, and change their toxicity. In this study, we focused on the effects of MPs and lead (Pb), as a toxic heavy metal, on marine mussel Mytilus coruscus under separate and co-exposure situations at environmentally relevant concentrations: MPs (1 mg/L) and Pb (50 μg/L). We found that MPs alone or in combination with Pb significantly decreased the respiration and filtration rates of the mussels (p
