Impact of Microplastics on Forest Soil Properties in Pollution Hotspots in Alluvial Plains of Large Rivers (Morava, Sava, and Danube) of Serbia

Forests, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16(2), P. 363 - 363

Published: Feb. 17, 2025

Plastic pollution has become a major environmental problem, while the products of its degradation, microplastics (MPs), appear everywhere on Earth. Data MPs in agricultural soils have appeared lately, but significant knowledge gap exists regarding forest soils. In Serbia, municipal waste is often dumped forests, creating problems that not been documented. To explore impact dumping and fluvisols, we evaluated from topsoils three dumps adequate visibly plastic non-contaminated sites located alluviums largest rivers Serbia. For assessing influence factors soil MPs, samples were taken vegetational seasons, two years. The structure, chemistry, microbial respiration (MR) was examined. Undisturbed columns uncontaminated with added known MP particles used to estimate dynamic transfer through topsoil. Large aggregate formation, coarse sand content, specific mass, porosity, available P, MR affected by contamination. Seasonal annual changes significantly influenced behavior luvisols. effectively penetrated deeper layers within 3 months, strong accumulation 0–10 cm layer.

Eco‐Friendly Solutions to Emerging Contaminants: Unveiling the Potential of Bioremediation in Tackling Microplastic Pollution in Water

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 8(11)

Published: June 19, 2024

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are a class of emerging contaminants that have gained significant attention in recent years. The presence MPs the aquatic environment is reported to serious potential environmental and health impacts. Therefore, it essential develop efficient sustainable strategies for remediation from aqueous environment. Traditional techniques an limitations, including high costs production secondary pollutants. In this scenario, bioremediation offers several advantages has emerged as cost‐effective, eco‐friendly, strategy removal water. This article critically reviews progress applications different effects key factors such characteristics MPs, conditions, types microorganisms on elaborated detail. underlying mechanisms involved by also discussed comprehensively. Major technological challenges identified, recommendations future research provided. Despite challenges, promising approach can revolutionize MP process if major addressed.

Co-occurrence of microplastics and heavy metals in a freshwater lake system in Indian Himalaya: Distribution and influencing factors

Emerging contaminants, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11(1), P. 100394 - 100394

Published: July 20, 2024

Microplastic (MP) contamination in freshwater systems is a prevalent and persistent environmental issue, yet their occurrence distribution remain poorly constrained. The present study examines the MPs abundance sediment water samples factors controlling Manasbal Lake, north-western (NW) Himalaya. Additionally, investigates relationship between heavy metals of sediment, as well potential interactions. counts lake surface varied from 840 nkg−1 to 4020 13 nL−1 89 nL−1, respectively. Lake exhibited spatial heterogeneity, with greatest observed eastern northeastern areas near inlets. Grain size land use appear collectively modulate variability sediments. Five main types were identified: beads/pellets, fragments, fibres, foams, films, beads being predominant type. Polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene are dominant constituents MPs, domestic sewage suggested source for lake. Furthermore, factor indicated high level lead sediments, while copper cobalt showed moderate inlet. SEM-EDS analysis illustrated presence toxic elements such Hg, Zn, Pb, Cr, Cd, Ni, Cu MPs. This expands baseline characterization enhances our understanding sources influencing MP distribution.
