Plastic is a generic term that relates to high molecular weight polymers that are usually derived from fossil fuels such as petroleum. 1,2 Plastic pollution is caused by small plastic fragments, and according to their size classification, they can be divided into microplastics (MPs) (100-5 mm) and nanoplastics (NPs) (<100 nm). 3 Several previous studies have shown the ubiquitous presence of MPs in terrestrial ecosystems, aquatic resources and atmospheric environments. [4][5][6][7] The decomposition of plastic litter, discharge of tourism and ship waste, improper waste disposal from aquaculture facilities, fishery tools and equipment, and atmospheric deposition have been reported as the main sources of MPs in the aquatic environment. 8 MPs can also be swallowed by aquatic organisms and accumulated in their digestive systems. 9,10 Due to their hydrophobic nature, small particle size and large surface area, MPs can attract other hydrophobic pollutants and change their chemical properties and bioavailability. 11,12 Recent
