Abstract

Napredak industrije, urbanizacija i intenzivno korištenje resursa imaju značajan utjecaj na kvalitetu morske vode. Iako je onečišćenje morske vode gorući problem čovječanstva ne pridaje mu se dovoljno važnosti. Samo onečišćenje najviše nastaje djelovanjem različitih industrija, ali ni utjecaj čovjeka ne možemo zanemariti. Ovaj rad istražuje različite izvore onečišćenja morske vode, identificirajući ključne uzroke i posljedice. Rad obuhvaća onečišćenja morske vode krutim i plastičnim otpadom, naftom, otpadnim vodama, balastnim vodama, radioaktivnim otpadom, kao i svjetlosno, zvučno, termalno i atmosfersko onečišćenje. Svaki od ovih izvora ima više potkategorija od kojih svaka ima specifične karakteristike onečišćenja te nam daje uvid u kompleksnu sliku onečišćenja morske vode. Cilj ovog rada je razumijevanje raznolikih izvora onečišćenja što je ključno za razvoj održivih strategija za zaštitu morskih ekosustava i osiguranje čiste morske vode za ljude i životinje. Daljnja istraživanja i primjena preventivnih mjera se trebaju usmjeriti na sprječavanje onečišćenja morske vode na samom izvoru kako bi se jednog dana riješio i taj problem.

Abstract (english)

The progress of industry, urbanization, and intensive resource use have a significant impact on the quality of seawater. Although marine pollution is a pressing issue for humanity, it is not given sufficient importance. Pollution primarily arises from various industries, but the human impact cannot be overlooked. This paper explores different sources of marine pollution, identifying key causes and consequences. It encompasses pollution of seawater by solid and plastic waste, oil, wastewater, ballast water, radioactive waste, as well as light, sound, thermal, and atmospheric pollution. Each of these sources has multiple subcategories, each with specific pollution characteristics, providing insight into the complex picture of marine pollution. The aim of this paper is to understand the diverse sources of pollution, which is crucial for the development of sustainable strategies to protect marine ecosystems and ensure clean seawater for humans and animals. Further research and the implementation of preventive measures should focus on preventing marine pollution at the source to eventually resolve this issue.
