Vliv mikroplastů na živočišný organismus
Summary
This Czech bachelor's thesis reviewed current knowledge on microplastic sources, environmental distribution, and effects on animal organisms. Ingestion was identified as the most common interaction pathway, leading to tissue damage, reproductive problems, and particle accumulation, with the review also covering monitoring approaches and strategies to limit environmental and human health impacts.
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the issue of environmental pollution by microplastics. It summarizes the current knowledge on the sources and occurrence of microplastics in different substrates and environments. It mainly focuses on their negative impact on animal organism. The most common interaction between organisms and microplastics is ingestion. This leads to the damage to mucous membranes and tissues, reproductive problems, or accumulation of particles in body. The effects of microplastics on animal organisms are described in detail in the literature review. Monitoring of microplastics in the food chain and ways to limit their impact on the environment and human health are also presented.
