SA Arat - Desalination and Water Treatment, 2024 - Elsevier
In this study, the literature has been reviewed for the following purposes:(1) to summarize
land-based and marine-based sources of microplastics (MPs) in the marine environment,(2)
to evaluate the abundance of MPs in marine waters and factors affecting MP abundance in
marine waters,(3) to review the general polymer types, shapes, sizes and colors of MPs in
marine waters and to determine the dominant characteristics of MPs in marine waters,(4) to
reveal the negative effects of MPs on various marine organisms (phytoplankton …
