Türkiye Kara Sularında Mikroplastik Kirliliğinin Biyota Üzerine Etkisi
AI summary Read the abstract
This review, written in Turkish, summarizes how microplastic pollution in Turkish territorial waters affects marine biota, including fish, invertebrates, and seabirds. The study collects evidence of microplastic ingestion and accumulation in Turkish marine species and raises concerns about impacts on both wildlife and human health through seafood consumption.
Plastics are high demand raw material with applications in many industries due to their low costs and easily processable structures. Increasing plastic production in line with the high demand and inadequate waste management of plastic waste gives rise to accumulation of these wastes in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. It has been reported that microscopic size plastics (microplastics) (
