Ecological threats for coastal systems in the context of acquiring and providing the quality of sea salt. A review
Journal Title: Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering (ISSN 1642-686X) - Year 2018, Vol 63, Issue 3
Abstract
Salt is a basic food commodity. Among different kinds of salt, the sea salt obtained via seawater evaporation in salterns located in the coastal zone is very important. Unfortunately, the coastal zone experiences strong anthropogenic pressure connected with leaking of pollutions from agricultural and household activities into the seawater. The aim of this paper was to present selected problems connected with sea salt acquisition and factors influencing its quality. The paper enumerates sea water pollutants, paying particular attention to the problem of novel pollutants, such as micro-and nanoplastic fibres. Additional factor influencing sea salt quality is the climate change due to its destructive activities in the coastal zones that host the salterns.
