Abstract Plastic pollution is a global concern given its prevalence in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Studies have been conducted on the distribution impact of plastic marine ecosystems, but little known mulch has widely used to increase crop yields worldwide, yet residues cropland soils soil health production long term remained unclear. In this paper, using meta‐analysis, we found that use can indeed average by 25%–42% immediate season due temperature (+8%) moisture (+17%). However, unabated accumulation film field negatively impacts physicochemical properties linked healthy threatens food term. It multiple negative plant growth including yield (at mean rate −3% for every additional 100 kg/ha residue), height (−2%) root weight (−5%), water evaporation capacity (−2%), infiltration (−8%), organic matter (−0.8%) available phosphorus (−5%) based meta‐regression. Using nationwide survey China, largest user residue reached 550,800 tonnes, with an estimated 6%–10% reduction cotton some polluted sites current level content. Immediate actions should be taken ensure recovery limit further loading maintain sustainability these croplands.

Bacteria-driven phthalic acid ester biodegradation: Current status and emerging opportunities

Environment International, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 154, P. 106560 - 106560

Published: April 16, 2021

The extensive use of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) has led to their widespread distribution across various environments. As PAEs pose significant threats human health, it is urgent develop efficient strategies eliminate them from Bacteria-driven PAE biodegradation been considered as an inexpensive yet effective strategy restore the contaminated Despite great advances in bacterial culturing and sequencing, inherent complexity indigenous microbial community hinders us mechanistically understand situ efficiently harness degrading power bacteria. synthetic ecology provides a simple controllable model system address this problem. In review, we focus on current progress mediated by isolates communities, discuss prospective PAE-degrading communities research. It anticipated that theories approaches will revolutionize study bacteria-driven provide novel insights for developing bioremediation solutions.

Phthalates (PAEs) are a group of endocrine-disrupting environmental chemicals (EEDs) that pose significant risks to human health. PAEs widespread in various media, including air, dust, water, and soil, subject both horizontal vertical migration. Human activities significantly influence the distribution PAEs, yet current research on this relationship remains limited. In study, we first describe hot issues environment through bibliometrics, then review published related studies. We outline global different media conducted comparative analysis their composition. Principal component (PCA) revealed differences mediums geographic locations. Correlation between composition China further demonstrated PAE concentrations were closely linked agricultural industrial activities. also discussed biodegradation abiotic degradation finding bacteria play crucial role soil. This study aims assess distribution, transfer, impact, providing insights for prevention remediation pollution.
