Plastic pollution is increasingly found in agricultural environments, where it contaminates soil and crops. Microbial biofilms rapidly colonise environmental plastics, such as the plastic mulches used systems, which provide a unique environment for microbial plastisphere communities. Human pathogens can also persist plastisphere, enter environments via flooding or irrigation with contaminated water. In this study we examined whether Salmonella Typhimurium Vibrio cholerae be transferred from on mulch to surface of ready-to-eat crop plants, subsequently leaf surface. Both S. V. were able 14 days fragments adhering leaves both basil spinach. Importantly, within 24 hours capable dissociating onto spinach leaves. This poses further risk food safety human health, even removal plastics washing these crops would not completely remove pathogens. As need more intensive production increases, so too does use agronomic systems. Therefore, there now an urgent understand unquantified co-pollutant pathogen contaminating systems pollution.

Plastic pollution has become one of the major environmental problems facing human beings in world today. waste accumulated environment forms plastic particles different sizes due to farming activities, climate change, ultraviolet light, microbial degradation, and animal chewing. The caused by microplastics a problem recent years, it is also research hotspot field ecological environment. More more studies have found that ruminants are exposed for long time, which seriously threaten their healthy growth. This paper introduces current situation pollution; properties effects on environment, beings, animals; summarizes types toxicity mechanisms microplastics; concludes main ways enter harm them. In addition, shortcomings future development summarized prospected provide theoretical reference related alleviating influence ruminant production.

The study was conducted in the province of Guayas, located coastal region Ecuador. researchers analysed blood samples from 30 horses different breeds (purebred, pony and mixed breeds) to detect presence micro- nanoplastics (MPs NPs). Blood smear scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques were used identify quantify plastic particles randomly selected animals aged between 2 12 years, with a body weight (BW) 100 380 kg condition score (BCS) 5 6 (on scale 1 9), fed on natural grass balanced supplements. results did not show MPs, but NPs identified all animals, an average 51 per field 1700 square microns (µm²) at depth micrometres (µm) size 426.33 nanometres (nm). No significant difference found number or NP sexes (females males) (P=0.288); greater observed younger (P<0.040). pure-blood breed had larger (P < 0.020) crossbreeds amount 0.010) compared other breeds. research concludes that are present equine blood, highlighting ability these contaminants enter potentially cause adverse health effects. In particular, showed higher suggesting effects exposure may be more severe early stages life.

The system of fertilizing agricultural soils with sludge or compost from wastewater treatment processes, as one the principles circular economy, can lead to microplastic (MP) contamination. existing technical standards for fertilization are very recent and do not consider this problem, although there is scientific evidence their existence. Therefore, study, on hand, evaluates presence MPs in soils, previously treated plants fertilization, second it studies effect these earthworms three different locations south Spain. For selected composts deriving stages composting process fertilized increasing MP doses were followed. Samples taken sections depth (0-5, 5-10, 10-20 cm) study shape, size, type, abundance using infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). results showed that most abundant shape was fiber, followed by fragment finally bulk, both soils.
