Determination of Seasonal Microplastic pollutıon Variation in Aquatic Environments: Case Study from İskenderun Technical University Pond

Although microplastic (MP) pollution in aquatic ecosystems has been a critical issue, a significant portion of previous studies has been limited to marine environments. Few studies have evaluated MP abundance in inland waters, and those that exist often ignore seasonal variations. This study aimed t...

Zusammenfassung:	Although microplastic (MP) pollution in aquatic ecosystems has been a critical issue, a significant portion of previous studies has been limited to marine environments. Few studies have evaluated MP abundance in inland waters, and those that exist often ignore seasonal variations. This study aimed to assess the seasonal variations in microplastic (MP) abundance in the İskenderun Technical University (İSTE) Pond. MP abundance ranged from 0.5 MPs/L to 10.8 MPs/L, with a mean of 3.7 MPs/L. Fiber-shaped, black-colored, small-sized (
