Microplastics in environment; sources, effects and solutions
AI summary Read the abstract
This Croatian thesis reviews microplastic sources and effects across environmental compartments and discusses potential solutions. The author examines how microplastics enter food chains and ultimately reach humans, and reviews detection and remediation approaches.
Plastika je zbog svoje široke upotrebe prisutna u svim dijelovima okoliša, gdje štetno utječe na različite sastavnice okoliša, a toksični spojevi koje adsorbira prenose se kroz hranidbeni lanac te s vremenom dolaze do čovjeka. Male dimenzije mikroplastike stvaraju poteškoće pri detekciji, identifikaciji, a posebice pri uklanjaju mikroplastike iz okoliša. Potrebno je razviti ili unaprijediti već postojeće metode detekcije i kvantifikacije te provesti zakonsku regulativu kojom bi se smanjilo ispuštanje mikroplastike u okoliš.
