Türki̇ye’ni̇n Ege Ve Akdeni̇z Kiyilarinda Bulunan Bazi Bölgeleri̇ndeki̇ Mi̇kroplasti̇k (mp) Ki̇rli̇li̇ği̇ni̇n Araştirilmasi
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastic pollution was investigated in water samples from three beaches along Turkey's Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, with fibrous microplastics being the most prevalent form, followed by fragmented and nylon-type particles, spanning multiple colors. This study contributes regional data on coastal microplastic contamination in heavily touristed Mediterranean waters, where plastic pollution poses growing threats to marine ecosystems and human health through seafood consumption.
Sürdürülebilirlik ilkesi kapsamında denizlerimizi korumak ve gelecek nesillere temiz bir çevre bırakmak başlıca görevimizdir. Deniz ortamında son yıllarda karşımıza çıkan mikroplastik kirliliği endişe verici boyutlara ulaşmaktadır. Özellikle turistler için cazibe merkezi haline gelen Akdeniz ve Ege Denizlerinde mikroplastik kirliliği dikkat çekici bir konudur. Bu çalışma kapsamında Türkiye’ye kıyısı olan iki denizde üç farklı plaja ait su numunelerinde mikroplastik tespiti üzerine çalışılmıştır. Elde edilen verilere göre en fazla ipliksi daha sonra parçacık yapılı ve daha sonra naylon yapıda mikroplastikler tespit edilmiştir. Naylon yapıdaki mikroplastikler beyaz renkli, parçacık yapıdakiler, yeşil ve sarı, ipliksi yapıdakiler ise kırmızı, beyaz, mavi, siyah ve yeşil yapıda olup yoğunluğuna göre Beyaz>Sarı>Kırmızı> Mavi> Yeşil olarak tespit edilmiştir.
