Summary

This Polish-language review covers microplastic pollution in natural environments, explaining the sources, spread, and risks of microplastics to ecosystems and human health. The paper highlights microplastics as a serious emerging environmental hazard.

Ze wzrostem produkcji tworzyw polimerowych gwałtownie zwiększyła się ilość odpadów plastikowych. Problem dotyczy nie tylko akwenów, gdzie odpady z tworzyw tworzą dryfujące wyspy śmieci, ale także plaż i niekontrolowanych wysypisk. Realnym niebezpieczeństwem dla środowiska naturalnego oraz zdrowia ludzi i zwierząt jest tzw. mikroplastik.

Microplastics in Environment and Effects on Biota

This review summarizes how microplastics form from plastic breakdown in nature or are manufactured at small sizes, spread across ecosystems, and harm organisms from microbes to larger animals. It emphasizes that poor plastic waste management is driving a growing global pollution crisis with broad ecological consequences.
