Summary

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.

Study Type Environmental

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.
