“…Considering these studies, despite the limited number of data, the accumulation of MPs in the soils due to the spreading of SeS appears to be significant and directly proportional to the amount of soil improver spread highlighting a significant pathway for the diffusion of MPs in the environment. This correlation is more clear, also referring to the high prevalence of fibers in amended soils, typically present in SeS [68,73,75]. This could represent a problem considering also the possible existence of pathways of the smaller fraction of MPs from contaminated soils to human and biotic communities in general [13,101], not yet fully confirmed (Figure 2).…”

“…This aspect is of great importance because it is very useful for understanding the origin of particles [81]. From the analysis of the examined literature, among the MPs identified in the SeS, fibers and fragments substantially predominate [35,41,55,[57][58][59]61,[63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73]75,76] (Table 1). Both are already present in the influent WW, the former derive mainly from the washing of synthetic clothing at home or industrial level [82], while the latter are contained for instance in many cosmetics as scrubber, given their irregular shape [3,81,83] or derive from the fragmentation of larger particles [81].…”

“…Akdeniz kıyıları, en kirli denizel alanlardan biri olarak bilinmektedir [22][23][24]. Türkiye'yi çevreleyen denizlerin su yüzeyi, su kolonu, kumsal sedimanları ve çeşitli denizel organizmalardaki plastik içeriği bilimsel çalışmalarla ortaya konmuştur (Karadeniz [25,26]; Marmara Denizi [27][28][29]; Akdeniz [30][31][32]; Ege Denizi [33,34]). Muğla Türkiye'nin en uzun kıyılarına sahip olmasına rağmen, kumsal sedimanlarındaki mikroplastik içeriğine dair az sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır.…”
