Günümüzde plastikler birçok alanda kullanılmakta ve gün geçtikçe de kullanım alanları artmaktadır. Plastik kullanımındaki bu artış çevre kirliliğine neden olmasının yanı sıra ortamda bulunan canlıları ve dolayısıyla insan sağlığını olumsuz olarak etkilemektedir. Plastikler farklı taşınım yolu ile su ortamına kadar ulaşmaktadır. Su ortamında ulaşmış olan mikroplastikler, ortamda bulunan canlılar tarafından tüketilmektedir. Mikroplastiklerin su ortamında yaşayan türlerde (balık, midye, karides, fok vb.) bulunduğu birçok çalışmada vurgulanmaktadır. Su canlıları tarafından tüketilen mikroplastikler besin ağına dahil olarak insan tüketimine kadar ulaşmaktadır. Bu nedenle konunun öneminin vurgulanarak, bu konuda bilinçlendirmenin ve gerekli önlemlerin alınmasının sağlanması amacıyla yapılan bu derleme çalışmasında; mikroplastik üzerine yapılan çalışmaların değerlendirilmesi ve oluşturduğu riskler incelenmiştir.

Today, plastics have been used in many areas and their use have been increasing day by day. This increase in the use of plastic causes environmental pollution as well as negatively affects organisms in the environment and therefore human health. Plastics reach to the water environment through different transport routes. Microplastics that have reached to the water environment are consumed by aquatic organisms. Microplastics in aquatic species (fish, mussels, shrimp, seals, etc.) were highlighted in many studies. Microplastics consumed by aquatic organisms are included in the food network, reaching as far as human consumption. Therefore, the importance of the subject have been emphasized, the evaluation of the studies on microplastics and the risks it poses have been examined in this compilation study which was carried out in order to raise awareness about this issue and to ensure that the necessary measures will be taken.
