Description
Heqi Zou and co-authors test how sunscreen-grade particles harm pearl oyster gills, in work from 2024. Titanium dioxide particles spread through many industries and wash into the sea. Pearl oysters sat in dosed seawater for two weeks, then in clean water for one week. Gill and gut-gland tissues were read for chemical shifts at each stage.
Over one hundred compounds shifted in the gills after dosing. Energy pathways bent, and key energy enzymes slowed. A week of clean water did not reset the pattern; fresh shifts piled up instead. The authors warn the particles strain energy, defense, and salt balance in the oysters.
