Microplastic Pollution in Terrestrial Ecosystems and Its Interaction with Other Soil Pollutants: A Potential Threat to Soil Ecosystem Sustainability

The production and disposal of plastics have become significant concerns for the sustainability planet. During past 75 years, around 80% plastic waste has either ended up in landfills or been released into environment. Plastic debris environment breaks down smaller particles through fragmentation, weathering, other disintegration processes, generating microplastics (plastic ≤ 5 mm size). Although marine aquatic ecosystems primary focus microplastic pollution research, a growing body evidence suggests that terrestrial are equally at risk. Microplastic contamination reported various environments from several sources such as mulch, pharmaceuticals cosmetics, tire abrasions (tire wear particles), textiles industries (microfibers), sewage sludge, dumping. Recent studies suggest soil sink pollutants is often contaminated with mixture organic inorganic pollutants. This gradually caused adverse impacts on health fertility by affecting pH, porosity, water-holding capacity, microbial enzymatic activities. Microplastics can interact co-existing adsorbing contaminants onto their surfaces intermolecular forces, including electrostatic, hydrophobic, non-covalent, partition effects, van der Waals microporous filling mechanisms. subsequently delays degradation process existing contaminants, thereby ecological activities ecosystem. Thus, present article aims to elucidate deleterious impact interactions review also addresses disrupting

Photoaging of biodegradable nanoplastics regulates their toxicity to aquatic insects (Chironomus kiinensis) by impairing gut and disrupting intestinal microbiota

Environment International, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 185, P. 108483 - 108483

Biodegradable plastic, a widely used ecofriendly alternative to conventional easily form nanoplastics (NPs) upon environmental weathering. However, the effects and underlying mechanisms governing toxicity of photoaged biodegradable NPs aquatic insects are not understood. In this study, we investigated photoaging polylactic acid (PLA-NPs, typical plastic) that were placed under xenon arc lamp for 50 days 100 compared virgin PLA-NPs Chironomus kiinensis (a dominant insect). The results showed significantly decreased body weight, length emergence rate C. kiinensis. Additionally, induced more severe gut oxidative stress, histological damage, inflammatory responses than PLA-NPs. Furthermore, alpha diversity microbiota was lower in group relative abundance key bacteria related intestinal barrier defense, immunity, nutrient absorption reduced PLA, indirectly leading stronger damage growth reduction. A impact on its occurred because size from 255.5 nm (virgin PLA) 217.1 (PLA-50) 182.5 (PLA-100), surface oxidation enhancement potential, improved stability NPs, thereby exacerbating microbiota. This study provides insights into highlights importance considering nanoplastic aging risk assessments.
