Cigarette butts (CBs) and Microplastics (MPs) have serious harmful effects on the environment and living organisms despite their small size. This research aims to investigate the abundance and pollution status of CBs and MPs in Tahtalı Dam Basin (West Anatolia, Türkiye) which is the most important drinking and irrigation water resources. Clean Environment Index (CEI) and Cigarette Butt Pollution Index (CBPI) were used to determine pollution degree of the basin.

In the present study, Physcia semipinnata samples were exposed to UV-A (352 nm) in 20 J m(-2) for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h to seek the alterations in the PSII photosynthetic quantum yield, thallus anatomy and DNA mutation rate in response to radiation. The Fv/Fm ratio decreased in P. semipinnata following exposure to UV-A for 24h, 48 h and 72 h.

Physcia semipinnata was exposed to UV-A (352nm) and visible light (210, 800 and 2000mW/cm2) for 30min, 1, 2, 24, and 48h to seek the alterations in the PSII photosynthetic quantum yield, in response to radiation. Chlorophyll a fluorescence did not influence exposure to light, 210, 800 and 2000mW/cm2. Significant alterations of the photosynthetic quantum yield ratio occurred in response to increase in UV-A exposure time.
