dc.description.abstractUntil recent years we have been unaware of the presence of microplastics (MPs) in the marine environment. MPs are plastic particles smaller than 5 mm accumulated in seas and shores, due to the dumping of small plastic materials used in certain products, or by the fragmentation of larger plastic objects. The actual extent of their risk is yet unknown and their origin, occurrence and impacts are being investigated. This work has included a number of researches on MPs worldwide, with the aim of presenting a global situation on the topic, emphasizing the limits and knowledge barriers. MPs are found in all marine compartments: on the water surface, in sediments (at the seabed and beaches) and in biota. MPs abundance vary significantly depending on the compartment, the measurement methodology, the geographic area and even on the sampling period. Difficulties are found when comparing researches, as different methodologies are being used. For this reason, there is an urgent need to standardize procedures. Polypropylene, polyethylene and polystyrene are the most common materials in MPs, in agreement with the most commonly used plastic materials in the world. The information on the distribution and impacts of MPs in the oceans is still limited. For this reason, research on the topic must be deepened at different scales (locally, regionally and globally) with the aim to: agree methodologies, set monitoring programmes, assess sources, deepen on the degradation paths of secondary MPs, and analyse the impacts on environmental and human health.; Azken hamarkada arte ez gara itsas ingurumenean mikroplastikoen (MPen) presentziaz kontziente izan. MPak itsaso eta kostaldeetan metatzen diren eta 5 mm baino tamaina txikiagoko plastiko-partikulak dira; zenbait produktu eta aplikaziotan erabilitako plastikozko material txikiak isurtzearen edo beste objektu handiago batzuen zatikapenaren ondorioz sortzen dira. Beraien arriskuaren benetako zenbaterainokoa ezezaguna da eta mundu osoan zehar jatorria, presentzia eta eraginak ikertzen ari dira. Lan honek MPei buruz munduan zehar egin diren hainbat ikerketa-lan bildu ditu, mundu-mailan itsas konpartimentu ezberdinetan MPei dagokienez aurkitu daitekeen egoera orokorra aurkezteko helburuarekin, mugak eta ezagutze-hutsuneak azpimarratuz. Itsaso-konpartimentu guztietan topatu dira MPak: ur-azalean, sedimentuetan (itsas hondoan, hondartzetan eta kostan, oro har) eta biotan; MP kopuruak nabarmenki aldatzen delarik behatutako konpartimentuaren, neurketa-teknikaren, eremu geografikoaren eta neurketa momentuaren arabera. Ikerketak alderatzeko zailtasunak nabarmentzen dira, erabilitako metodologia ezberdinak direla medio. Hori dela eta, prozedurak bateratzeko premiazko beharra dago. Mundu-mailan gehien ekoizten diren polimero motak izaki, polipropilenoa, polietilenoa eta poliestirenoa dira MPetan gehien azaltzen direnak. Ozeanoetako MPen banaketa eta eraginaren efektuei buruzko informazioa mugatua da oraindik. Horregatik guztiagatik, egindako lana sakondu beharra dago eskala ezberdinetan (lokalean, eskualdean eta mundu mailan): metodologiak adostu, monitorizazio-programak ezarri, iturriak hausnartu, MP sekundarioen degradazio-mekanismoetan sakondu, eta konpartimentuen arteko dinamikak eta ingurumenaren zein giza osasunaren gaineko eraginak aztertu.
