Microplastic particles were detected in fish brains during a scientific study conducted on aquatic creatures in Türkiye's eastern province of Erzurum.

Disposable plastics discarded in nature can turn into microplastic particles in water under the influence of waves, sun, and wind. These particles are then consumed by aquatic creatures and enter the human food chain.
 

Based on this situation, Professor Muhammed Atamanalp from the Faculty of Fisheries at Ataturk University in Erzurum has been working on aquatic creatures for two years with a team of seven people.

Scientists conducted research on 300 fish, 200 lobsters, and 150 freshwater mussels collected from different seas and water sources. They detected microplastic particles in the fish brains during detailed laboratory analyses.
