Influence of microplastics on aquatic organisms - an overview study
BÁRTOVÁ, Lucie
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to develop a review summarizing knowledge about the effect of microplastics on aquatic organisms. In recent years, negative impacts of microplastics on aquatic organisms have begun to be observed. This work clarifies the entry paths of microplastics to the water recipient and their occurrence in aquatic ecosystems. The effects of microplastics on aquatic organisms, both vertebrates and invertebrates and phytoplankton, were also presented. To work properly out this bachelor thesis, I have used Czech and foreign sources found in the scientist database. However, many studies are still needed to fully understand the impact of microplastics and deduce clear conclusions. In order to deduce general conclusions from the studies, it is necessary to standardize water sampling methods as well as methods for testing the effects on organisms.
