Microplastics in freshwater ecosystems and effects on biota
AI summary Read the abstract
This Croatian thesis reviews the occurrence of microplastics in freshwater ecosystems worldwide and examines their effects on aquatic organisms. The author summarizes research on microplastic concentrations in rivers and lakes and discusses ecological impacts on freshwater biota.
Proizvodnja plastike globalni je uspjeh, ali je postala prijetnja okolišu jer stvara čestice mikroplastike (veličine < 5 mm). Mikroplastika u slatkovodne sustave dospijeva na različite načine, a zabilježena je u vodama i sedimentima diljem svijeta. U ovom radu iznesena su dosadašnja saznanja o zastupljenosti i distribuciji mikroplastike u slatkovodnim ekosustavima. Navedene su i najčešće korištene metode uzorkovanja i analize mikroplastike te su iznesene informacije o dosad poznatim utjecajima mikroplastike na slatkovodne organizme.
