Seasonal variations and risk assessment of microplastic contamination in agricultural soil and associated macroinvertebrates in Egypt

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: Feb. 24, 2025

Abstract Contamination by microplastics (MPs) has the potential to rank among world’s most significant environmental issues. Despite fact that MP contamination is a global problem, little known about time variation of MPs in agricultural soil and its faunal communities which represent key role risk assessment. This study represents first field investigation regarding concentrations ecosystem Egypt. Our investigates seasonal fluctuations common fauna citrus orchard ( Citrus sinensis ) Egypt’s Sohag Governorate. Moreover, this work aimed identify how feeding strategies body size selected affect no. ingested. The greatest mean concentration was observed summer (664 ± 90.20 items/kg) dry weight. However lowest recorded autumn (354 70.92 items/kg). Aporrectodea caliginosa (earthworms) more contaminated with (6.84 2.5 item/individual annually) than Anisolabis maritima (earwigs) (2.06 0.86 annually). When comparing between taxa without considering organisms, earwigs showed higher (ranged from 117.93 5.23 244.38 4.57 items/gm wet weight) earthworms 25.62 2.43 51.66 4.05 weight). results found blue red colors were predominant fauna. Also, polyester fibers (PES) popular type microplastics, followed fractions polyethylene (PE) polypropylene (PP). Interestingly, reduction particles present compared those soil. Pollution load index (PLI) value varied across seasons, due reduced abundance. Hazard (H) indicates moderate (level III) high abundance low hazard score (4) all seasons. starting point for further studies on impact organisms various soils.

Microplastics in the European native oyster, Ostrea edulis, to monitoring pollution-related patterns in the Solent region (United Kingdom)

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 197(5)

Published: April 12, 2025

Microplastics (MPs) are the most abundant type of debris in marine environment, creating a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems due their persistence, ability absorb organic pollutants and potential ingestion by fauna. Shellfish particularly vulnerable MPs accumulation as they filter large volumes seawater, become an important route for human exposure these particles. This study, first examine European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) populations, aimed quantify particles gill digestive tissues oysters from Solent region (southern England). Enzymatic digestion using Proteinase-K was used this study were identified every sampled determine whether differences abundance, size exist between locations. Oysters near urban areas contained significantly more than those rural areas. Fibres prevalent MPs, with sizes varying across The found no presence gills tissues, inverse correlation size. wild O. edulis could be additional survival already threatened species may pose health risks predatory consumers seafood. use biomonitoring pollution help extent, distribution sources potentially informing management strategies reduce pollution.

The Harmful Effects of Microplastic Pollution on Aquatic Organisms

IOP Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 1305(1), P. 012006 - 012006

Published: Feb. 1, 2024

Abstract In recent years, microplastics have been recognized as the most popular pollutants in marine and fresh waters. Plastic is one of used materials all areas our lives due to its cheap, light, durable properties. Because they are main or auxiliary almost industries branches industry, disappearance plastics, which lives, requires very long processes. Since petroleum-derived plastic wastes, bacteria cannot consume directly, decomposed by solar heat radon, only resulting compounds can be consumed bacteria. For this reason, awareness-raising efforts reduce consumption daily use over world accelerated. parallel with situation, research on microplastic pollution both seas inland waters carried out intensively. Considering current habits us humans, who at top food chain, rates we exposed a substantial level. The determination amount contained seafood protein source great importance terms public health shows necessity further scientific subject. purpose study reveal effects aquatic organisms sea compiling studies subject draw attention
