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

The increasing demand for sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics has propelled the interest in bioplastics. While numerous studies have showcased their environmental advantages, particularly reducing global warming potential and fossil fuel usage, comprehensive reviews on holistic impacts of bioplastics throughout life cycle are scarce. This paper aims fill this gap by critically evaluating sustainability bioplastics, from production disposal. We find that impact is influenced feedstock choices, processing methods, disposal practices. Although intensive agriculture can cause acidification eutrophication as well incomplete biodegradation may lead formation bio-micro/nano-plastics, generally present a lower burden than traditional plastics, evidenced reduced carbon footprint enhanced biodegradability, which contributes decreased plastic waste. Importantly, positively affect soil dynamics, underscoring role promoting agricultural management advocate future Life Cycle Assessment develop inventory database enabling more thorough evaluation impacts. research provides critical insights policymakers viability

A global study on tap water samples has found that up to 83% of these contained microplastic fibres. These findings raise concerns about their potential health risks. Ingested particles have already been associated with harmful effects in animals, which similar outcomes humans. Microplastics are ubiquitous the environment, commonly disposed landfills and waste sites. Within indoor environments, common sources synthetic textiles, plastic bottles, packaging. From various point sources, they globally distributed through air can enter humans pathways.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) act as barriers in reducing uncontrolled microplastic and microlitter (MP-ML) emissions from both urban industrial wastewaters. Despite removing most of the MP-ML, large quantities this waste still enter environment through WWTP effluents, which means further post-treatment technologies are needed. This study contains a technical evaluation MP-ML removal wastewater (UWW) recycling plastic industry (PIWW) using two different pilot-scale systems: rapid gravity filtration (RGF) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. The mass concentrations contained UWW PIWW were measured by simplified method adapted for long-term monitoring operations. was validated on standard samples. RGF system consumed less energy than UF treating (0.097 kWh·m−3 0.156 kWh·m−3, respectively), not efficient enough to properly decrease risk (39.5 ± 34.6 % removal). With respect PIWW, consumption plant decreased up 0.059 kWh·m−3. combination expected reduce membrane fouling but it did show significant differences mid-term operation.
