Microplastics in Turkish Coastal Lagoons: Unveiling the Hidden Threat to Wetland Ecosystems

Research Square (Research Square), Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Март 17, 2025

Transitional ecosystems like coastal lagoons provide numerous ecosystem services. However, they are increasingly threatened by plastic pollution, particularly microplastics (MPs). Despite growing concerns, the occurrence and distribution of MPs in Türkiye’s lagoon systems remain largely unknown. This study aims to assess abundance, composition, seasonal variability surface water sediments five located northeastern Mediterranean region Türkiye. Additionally, potential MP sources their environmental implications addressed. Water sediment samples were collected from Akyatan, Tuzla, Ağyatan, Çamlık, Yelkoma Lagoons during November June periods. extracted using density separation digestion techniques, quantified via stereo microscopy, characterized through µ-Raman spectroscopy identify polymer composition. A total 15,526 recovered, with significantly higher concentrations (47.5 ± 4.02 MPs/L) compared (17.0 2.57 MPs/L; p < 0.05). varied among lagoons, Tuzla exhibiting highest levels water, while Akyatan showed contamination. Fibers dominant type, followed fragments films. analysis identified polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyester (PES) as most common polymers, indicating agricultural runoff, fishing activities, mismanaged waste primary sources. provides first comprehensive assessment pollution Turkish highlighting spatial differences contamination levels. The results highlight pressing need for improved management policies conservation strategies mitigate these ecologically economically significant systems.

First Record of Microplastic Contamination in the Non-Native Dark False Mussel Mytilopsis leucophaeata (Bivalvia: Dreissenidae) in a Coastal Urban Lagoon

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 21(1), С. 44 - 44

Microplastic contamination is a global concern due to its conspicuous presence in aquatic ecosystems and toxic nature environmental human health. False mussels are among the most notable fresh- brackish water invaders. The invasive Mytilopsis leucophaeata Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon-RFL (Rio Janeiro, Brazil) abundant macrofaunal invertebrate, widely established distributed throughout lagoon. This study aimed assess microplastic this filter feeder evaluate potential use as bioindicator. Agglomerates (~100 mussels) were manually collected using stainless-steel spatula ten sampling areas whole lagoon kept frozen. In laboratory, 60 individuals sorted by area for soft-tissue digestion. Each pool of 10 (n = 6 area) was wet-weighted then placed 150-mL decontaminated glass beaker with 50 mL 10% KOH. Samples heated (40 °C) 48 h, digested samples filtered glass-fiber membranes. Microplastics found all 60) from RFL; particles mostly lower than 100 µm mean concentration (±SD) 35.96 ± 47.64 MPs g wet-weight−1. distinguished seven shapes different occurrences (%): fiber (43.3%); fragment (34.3%); film (16.3%); sponge/foam (4.9%); pellet (0.57%), rope/filaments (0.17%); undefined (0.4%). Thirteen colors microplastics found, but transparent (54.94%), black (10.77%), white (9.36%) common. useful RFL might be preferentially used other invaded systems instead native often threatened bivalves. Our results confirm effective application bivalves an indicator coastal pollution.
