Groundwater, a crucial freshwater source faces increasing pollution from microplastics (MPs). This study aims to comprehensively review the aquifers, sampling and analysis methods, levels, polymer types, sizes of MPs in groundwater worldwide between 2017 2023. Very few reports exist on abundance, type, size, other characteristics field. The tools, sample collection quantities used for field varied considerably among studies. However, efforts enhance our understanding MP results through level measurements, on-site water quality parameters, ion analysis, blanks have been limited. mostly indicated higher concentrations urban industrial areas landfill sites, whereas lower were observed with minimal human influence. are predominantly polypropylene polyethylene. Standardized methods needed further promote research facilitate cross-comparisons.

Microplastic (MP) contamination has become a pervasive global issue, affecting terrestrial and aquatic environments, its potential health hazards are of widespread concern. This review examined the intricate relationship between animal exposure to MPs their effects, revealing that MP affects broad spectrum species across habitats. Crucially, interspecies differences in ingestion, accumulation, responses emerge as central themes arising from various factors, including feeding behavior, physiology, ecological niches. The implications multifarious; animals may suffer physical harm, endure chemical adsorbed contaminants, provoke inflammatory responses, undergo behavioral modifications. Chronic raises concerns about long-term consequences, ability adsorb transport chemicals for bioaccumulation pollutants within food webs. ramifications profound, impacting population dynamics, ecosystem processes. interplay underscores need interdisciplinary research unites fields such biology, ecology, chemistry, toxicology. Recognizing effects significant implications, particularly enter human chain through on risks.

This study investigated the abundance of microplastic (MP) in agricultural soil fertilised with sludge, assessing variation MP count and estimated mass three long-term field trials treated excessively sludge 2003–2012. Ten samples were taken from each fields concentrations ranging 2392 to 48,791 counts kg−1, where over 50 % MPs polyester acrylic. Due considerable concentration, impact number sub-samples on predicted measured concentration was applying a Monto Carlo simulation approach. Choosing sampling points is compromise between acceptable error available resources. The simulations showed an increasingly high risk obtaining outlier when taking less than approx. ten subsamples. When ending fertilisation half-life for by 2.5 years, whereas 4 years. Hence, smaller particles seemed degrade and/or migrate elsewhere fastest.

The escalating prominence of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) as emerging anthropogenic pollutants has sparked widespread scientific public interest. These minuscule particles pervade the global environment, permeating drinking water food sources, prompting concerns regarding their environmental impacts potential risks to human health. In recent years, field MNP research witnessed development application cutting-edge infrared (IR) spectroscopic instruments. This review focuses on advanced IR techniques relevant instrumentation analyse MNPs. A comprehensive literature search was conducted, encompassing articles published within past three years. findings revealed that Fourier transform (FTIR) spectroscopy stands most used technique, with focal plane array FTIR (FPA-FTIR) representing cutting edge in spectroscopy. second popular technique is quantum cascade laser (QCL-IR) spectroscopy, which facilitated rapid analysis plastic particles. Following closely optical photothermal (O-PTIR) can furnish submicron spatial resolution. Subsequently, there atomic force microscopy-based (AFM-IR) made it feasible MNPs at nanoscale level. instruments identified covered this were compared. Comparison metrics encompass substrates/filters, data quality, resolution, acquisition speed, processing cost. limitations these identified, recommendations address proposed. offer valuable guidance researchers selecting suitable for experiments, thereby facilitating advancements aimed enhancing our understanding health associated
