| Özet |
| Within the scope of TUBITAK 118Y125 project, microplastic pollution was investigated at the coastal areas of the mouth of several rivers in the southeastern Black Sea, namely the rivers Karasu, Kızılırmak, Yesilırmak, Melet, Aksu, Değirmendere and Fırtına. Here we present results of the first cruise that occurred during July 2019. At each station, samples were collected from surface waters with manta trawl, from several depths with Niskin bottles and from sediments with box core. Microplastics were characterized using optical microscopy, FT-IR and SEM/EDS in terms of size, morphology and chemistry. Surface microplastic concentration ranged between 1.783 and 40.03 par. m-3 (0.178 x106-4x106 par. km-2). The primary shapes were fragments (49%), followed by films (31.3%), fibres (17.7%), foams (1.9%) and beads (0.1%). Twelve different colours of microplastics were detected in surface waters with the most common colour being white (34.3%), followed by transparent (28.9%) and blue (11.8%). The average size was calculated as 1.540±1.065 mm, 1.984±1.022 mm, 2.076±1.205 mm, 2.302±1.225 mm and 0.670±0.245 mm for fragments, films, fibres, foams and beads, respectively. Microplastic concentrations at subsurface depths, reached up to 20 par. l-1. An increasing MP concentration with depth was observed. Microplastic concentrations in sediment varied from 74.1 to 1778.8 par. m-2 (0.004-0.192 par. ml-1). The primary shapes in the sediment were fibres (66.4%), followed by fragments (19.9%), films (13.3%) and beads (0.4%), no foam was found. Ten different colours of microplastics were found in the sediment with blue being the most … |
