The broad-scale microplastic distribution in surface water and sediments along Northeastern Mediterranean shoreline
(Elsevier, 2022)Plastics manufactured to fulfil the unique demands of civilization accumulate in the sea due to their durability. Microplastics (MP) pose a greater threat than macroplastics as they can easily enter the aquatic environment ... -
Coping with the un-natural: Tracking transcriptional activation and macromolecular profiles in Arabidopsis under microplastic exposure
(Elsevier, 2022)The ocean's microplastic (MP) burden reflects the ultimate sink, yet plants are the key receivers of all sizes. However, just a few studies have been published so far have solely examined single-sized commercial PS, PE, ... -
Decade of microplastic alteration in the southeastern black sea: An example of seahorse gastrointestinal tracts
(Elsevier, 2022)Unconscious and excessive use of plastic supports the diversity and abundance of microplastics (MPs) in marine environments. As a result of MP exposure, organisms in the marine environment are faced with adverse scenarios up ... -
First evaluation of neustonic microplastics in Black Sea waters
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2016)The Black Sea has a high risk of plastic pollution given the high river discharge of several industrialized countries into this semi-enclosed sea. Here, for the first time, the occurrence and distribution of microplastics ... -
The first evidence of microplastics occurrence in Greater Pipefish (Syngnathus acus Linnaetabus, 1758) in the Black Sea
(Central Fisheries Research Inst, 2023)Microplastics (MPs) occurrence in greater pipefish Syngnathus acus was assessed in the Black Sea for the first time. MPs were found in 21 % of total pipefish examined. MPs were mainly fibres in shape (89 %), black in colour ... -
Ingestion of microplastics by commercial fish species from the southern Black Sea coast
(Elsevier, 2022)Microplastic (MP) contamination is a serious threat to today's marine life. Therefore, this study investigates MP ingestion in three commercial fish species (European anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus, whiting Merlangius ... -
Investigation of microplastic accumulation in Horse Mackerel (Trachurus mediterraneus) caught in the Black Sea
(2022)The marine ecosystem is prone to pollution exposure due to a number of factors. Microplastic (MP) pollution has been a severe issue recently; however, studies on marine organisms are limited. The abundance and composition ... -
Japon Balığı (Carassius auratus) Gonad ve Viseral organları üzerine Bisfenol S’nin toksik etkileri
(2021)Bisfenol A (BPA), polikarbonat plastiklerin ve epoksi reçinelerinin üretiminde kullanılan çevresel bir kirleticidir. Bununla birlikte bisfenol S (BPS), son zamanlarda BPA ürünlerine alternatif olarak kullanılmaya başlanan ... -
Long-term investigation of microplastic abundance in Squalius species in Turkish inland waters
(Elsevier, 2024)Examining the enduring alterations in microplastic (MP) concentrations within fish in inland waters is of utmost importance in understanding the historical trajectory of plastic waste and formulating consequential predictions ... -
Microplastic contamination in some beverages marketed in türkiye: Characteristics, dietary exposure and risk assessment
(Elsevier, 2024)In this study, microplastic contamination in water, natural mineral water and mineral water, sparkling soft drinks, cold tea and some traditional beverages marketed in Türkiye were assessed. Microplastics physically and ... -
Microplastic emission trends in Turkish primary and secondary municipal wastewater treatment plant effluents discharged into the Sea of Marmara and Black Sea
(Elsevier, 2023)Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) are recognized as one of the primary sources of microplastics, a class of contaminants that has lately gained attention. The quantity of MP that WWTPs release into the environment depends ... -
Microplastic ingestion and egestion by copepods in the Black Sea
(Elsevier, 2021)Ingestion and egestion of microplastics by copepods in the Black Sea was assessed for the first time. Composition and concentration of microplastics in the water column was also evaluated. Samples were collected from three ... -
The microplastic pattern in Turkish lakes: sediment and bivalve samples from Cildir Lake, Almus Dam Lake, and Kartalkaya Dam Lake
(TUBİTAK Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2022)Plastic has become one of the most prominent contaminants in recent decades, posing a major environmental threat with critical implications for seafood safety. Thus, we investigated the abundance and characterization of ... -
The microplastic pattern of wild-caught Mediterranean mussels from the Marmara Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)The Sea of Marmara suffers from pollutants that come from municipal/industrial discharges and the Black Sea. Microplastic (MP)s, a rising environmental concern with consequences for seafood safety, are one of these ... -
Microplastic pollution and human risk assessment in Turkish bottled natural and mineral waters
(Springer, 2023)Microplastics (MPs), which arise from the deterioration of larger plastics that are frequently used in daily life and are smaller than 5 mm in size, are found in many environments and can pose a serious threat to human ... -
Microplastic pollution and risk assessment in packaged teas in Türkiye
(Springer Nature, 2024)Abstract: This article presents the first-ever findings on the release of MPs (microplastics) from tea bags containing tea leaves into tea infusions in Türkiye. The study aimed to investigate the possible distribution and ... -
Microplastic pollution in Turkish aquatic ecosystems: Sources, characteristics, implications, and mitigation strategies
(Central Fisheries Research Inst, 2023)Aquatic environments are one of the final destinations for microplastics. In this review, a combination of systematic and narrative literature review was conducted to identify and summarise advances, gaps, and future ... -
