Microplastic aging processes: Environmental relevance and analytical implications

TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 172, P. 117566 - 117566

Published: Jan. 30, 2024

The analysis of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial environments and the evaluation their environmental risk has gained great attention, owing to increasing evidence for widespread presence soils freshwater sediments globally. Once environment, MPs undergo abiotic biotic processes which alter properties integrity: this process is called "aging" implications fate these contaminants, morphology surface chemistry. Aging may also affect analytical assessment samples: samples likely contain aged MPs, while methods are generally established using pristine plastics validation. This can lead uncertainties quantification characterization. critical review summarizes current trends simulation characterization MP aging laboratory conditions, highlighting limitations knowledge gaps. It discusses challenges induced by samples, providing directions toward possible solutions.

Mechanistic interpretation of the sorption of terbuthylazine pesticide onto aged microplastics

Environmental Pollution, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 345, P. 123502 - 123502

Published: Feb. 3, 2024

Microplastics (MPs) pose a global concern due to their ubiquitous distribution. Once in the environment, they are subject aging, which changes chemical-physical properties and ability interact with organic pollutants, such as pesticides. Therefore, this study investigated interaction of hydrophobic herbicide terbuthylazine (TBA), is widely used agriculture, artificially aged polyethylene (PE) MP (PE-MP) understand how aging affects its sorption. PE was by an accelerated weathering process including UV irradiation, hydrogen peroxide, ultrasonic treatment, particles were characterized comparison pristine particles. Sorption kinetics performed for materials, while further sorption studies PE-MP included determining environmental factors pH, temperature, TBA concentration. found be significantly lower on compared because led formation oxygen-containing functional groups, resulting reduction hydrophobicity negatively charged sites oxidized surfaces. For PE-MP, best described pseudo-second-order model, it intra-particle diffusion result crack pore formation. followed decreasing trend increasing became less favorable at higher temperatures. The isotherm data revealed complex altered, heterogeneous surfaces involving interactions, bonding, π-π Sips adsorption model. Desorption low, confirming strong interaction. However, thermodynamic results imply that increased temperatures, those from climate change, could promote re-release into environment. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) confirmed onto PE.

A critical review of the adsorption-desorption characteristics of antibiotics on microplastics and their combined toxic effects

Environmental Technology & Innovation, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 35, P. 103729 - 103729

Published: June 26, 2024

The interaction between microplastics (MPs) and pollutants is crucial for assessing the environmental risk of MPs. It necessary to pay attention adsorption/desorption behavior antibiotics on MPs due their potential role in antibiotic resistance. When MPs-loaded are ingested by organisms, they enter gastrointestinal tract undergo desorption, leading corresponding toxic effects. Existing literature primarily focuses adsorption behavior, while there a lack systematic generalizations desorption or combined effects organisms. Therefore, this article provides review mechanisms, biological tract. Desorption suggests that characteristics (aging hydrophobicity) components fluid (digestive enzyme species pH) can also have effect desorption. Moreover, summarizes induced MPs-antibiotics, demonstrating either enhance reduce plants, microorganisms, aquatic animals. Since methodological uniformity relevance natural environment main shortcomings existing literature, future research should focus actual water given region studying at gene, protein, metabolic levels. This direction expected provide valuable references insights evaluating antibiotics.

Unveiling the Truth of Interactions between Microplastics and Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in Wastewater Treatment Plants: Microplastics as a Carrier of PFASs and Beyond

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 6, 2025

Microplastics (MPs) and per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are ubiquitous contaminants in environments, yet their co-occurrence interactions remain insufficiently understood. In this study, we confirmed the concurrent presence of MPs PFASs distinct distribution patterns a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) through comprehensive sampling analysis effort. Significant correlations (p < 0.05) were observed between specific types PFASs, suggesting shared sources. Moreover, identified as carriers with PFAS concentration ranging 122 166 ng/g, predominantly consisting perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) perfluorobutanoic (PFBA). The laboratory verification experiment revealed that could be leached from aqueous which commercial exhibited higher leaching potential, highest combined perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), PFOA, PFBA reaching 10.4 ng/mL. PFOS demonstrated desorption efficiency exceeding 120% sorption/desorption experiments, confirming its release themselves. These results highlighted dual roles both sources PFASs. contaminant profiles across different matrices WWTP provide valuable insights form basis for further research into proactive measures to effectively mitigate environmental contamination.
