Highlights First controlled lab experiment to study biological effects of LEE particles Application of an innovative analytical toolbox for effect assessment Enrichment factors for metals and metalloids determined in M. edulis ranged between 0.93 and 6.1 Metabolite investigation of the mussels’ entire soft body tissue revealed only weak MP-induced changes Abstract Offshore wind farms (OWFs) pose new anthropogenic pressures on the marine environment as the erosion of turbine blades release organic and inorganic substances with potential consequences for marine life. . . .
