AI summary Read the abstract
This Turkish-language review examined microplastic contamination in drinking water and food, covering sources, detection methods, and health implications. The paper discussed how microplastics enter water and food supplies through environmental contamination and packaging, and reviewed current evidence on human exposure. Such reviews in Turkish contribute to awareness and scientific literacy on microplastic risks in Turkey and the broader Middle East region.
Dünya üzerinde kalabalık nüfuslu ve sanayileşmiş bölgelerde karasal kaynaklardan gelen çok fazla miktarda plastik çöpler bulunmaktadır. Öyle ki, bilim insanları içinde bulunduğumuz Antroposen dönemde “Plastik Çağ’a” girildiğini ifade etmişlerdir. Hava, rüzgâr ve akarsu hareketleri gibi doğal yollarla çevreye ve su kaynaklarına bulaşabilen mikro plastikler 5 mm’den küçük veya 5 mm büyüklüğünde olan suda çözünmeyen katı polimer partiküller olarak tanımlanmışlardır. Mikro plastikler büyüklüklerine göre; küçük mikro plastikler (
