dc.description.abstractThe detection of microplastics, defined as tiny plastics particles having a size from 1 mu m to 5 mm, in aquatic environments has become a serious concern worldwide. Microplastics may be introduced either directly to water bodies or indirectly to the aquatic systems. In particular, microplastics may interact with persistent organic pollutants and inorganic contaminants and they transfer these pollutants to organisms in the aquatic environment. In this study, microplastics and their sorbed polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the surface water feeding Beysehir Lake in Turkiye were investigated. The abundance of microplastics in the surface water was determined in the range of 2,830-6,860 particles/m3. While five shapes (fiber, foam, film, fragment, pellet) of microplastics were determined in surface waters, fiber, and fragment form microplastics were predominantly observed. The detected polymer types were cellophane, polyethylene, polypropylene. The transparent/white color microplastics were the most dominant ones (42-81%). The total concentration of the seventeen PAHs associated with microplastics in surface waters ranged from 1,924 to 7,970 ng/g. According to the diagnostic ratios of the PAH isomers (fluoranthane/pyrene < 1 and phenanthrene/antracene >10), the source of the PAHs -in surface waters can be of pyrogenic and petrogenic origins. These findings indicate that high concentrations of microplastics and PAHs sorbed microplastics were carried into the lake by the surface waters feeding Beysehir Lake. These pollutants may pose a risk to aquatic organisms in the lake as well as to the use the lake water for irrigation and for potable purposes.en_US
