dc.description.abstractThis paper is an illustrated review of the microplastics phenomenon which is caused by human activity and has global reach. Microplastics are insoluble solid particles in the range of sizes between 1µm and 5mm. There can be a further divide into larger macro- and meso- plastics and smaller nanoplastics. Regardless of the size all microplastics can carry adsorbed toxic materials like insoluble organic materials and heavy metals. With these materials microplastics can integrate themselves into the food chain and though it come in contact with the human body where desorption of toxic materials can takes place. It is difficult to recognize the type of microplastics, only with the employment of different recognition methods a sample of microplastics can be correctly identified. The removal of microplastics can be carried out with classic methods or with bioreactors.
