Owing to their low cost, high plasticity, and corrosion resistance, plastic products are widely used across various industries. However, these can break down into microplastics (MPs) through several processes, including natural weathering, mechanical wear tear, industrial activities, such as fine powder production, other human-induced processes. MPs contaminate the environment pose a significant threat human health safety. Additionally, be horizontally vertically distributed within soil environment. interact with cadmium (Cd) in Cd-contaminated soils, thereby forming co-exposed stress risks. Considering widespread distribution of Cd soil, this article reviews interactions ecological effects combined literature visualization analysis. The systematic review shows that MP–Cd pollution significantly alter physico-chemical properties thus influencing individual contaminants (Cd or MPs) modifying microbial community. migration contribute oxidative on animals plants, potential implications for aboveground food chain. This paper aims identify future research directions priorities addressing provide scientific guidance remediation management MP-Cd joint exposure site environments.

Sewage sludge applications release contaminants to agricultural soils, such as potentially toxic metals and microplastics (MPs). However, factors determining the subsequent mobility of MPs in long-term field conditions are poorly understood. This study aimed understand vertical distribution soils amended with sewage comparison conventional mineral fertiliser for 24 years. The depth-dependent MP mass number concentrations, plastic types, sizes shapes were compared organic carbon provide insights into transport-limiting factors. Polyethylene, polypropylene polystyrene concentrations screened down 90 cm depth via pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. additional sizes, analysed 40 using micro-Fourier transform-infrared imaging. Across all depths, numbers twice 8 times higher when was applied, a share textile-related plastics, more fibres on average larger particles than soil receiving fertiliser. Transport beyond plough layer (0–20 cm) is often assumed negligible, but substantial (42 %) (52 detected 70 sludge-amended soils. initial mobilization shape- size-dependent, because fractions fragmental-shaped relatively small increased directly below layer, not at greater depths. sharp decline total between 20 resembled that matter suggesting similar transport limitations. We hypothesize effect management, ploughing, compactness by bioturbation macropores drives over long time scales. Risk assessment should therefore account considerable displacement avoid underestimating exposure.

Biomass-to-biofuel conversion represents a critical component of the global transition to renewable energy. One most accessible types biomass is sewage sludge (SS). This by-product from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) contains microplastics (MPs) originating household, industrial and urban runoff sources. Due their small size (<5 mm) persistence, MPs present challenge when they are removed systems, where mainly accumulate (~90%). The presence in SS poses environmental risks biosolids applied as fertilizer agriculture or incinerated for purpose energy production. key problem efficient reliable identification reduction due lack standardized procedures. methods might involve physical, chemical, biological, hydrothermal approaches, including carbonization (HTC). HTC produces hydrochar (HC), solid biofuel, presents cutting-edge approach that simultaneously addresses secondary microplastic pollution biomass-derived In this article, we review briefly content different countries, promising method removal SS. conclusion, (i) effectively reduces abundance biosolids, (ii) an improved source energy, (iii) contributes circular management.

Microplastic contamination in terrestrial environments has risen significantly, far exceeding levels marine environments. This shift underscores the concerning prevalence of microplastics (MPs) sewage sludge and soil, raising environmental apprehensions. Microplastics from various sources accumulate systems, consequently, soil have transformed into primary reservoirs microplastic pollutants, capable infiltrating aquatic ecosystems. While using to enrich provides nutrients, it simultaneously introduces substantial content, posing hazards. These can altering its properties potentially polluting deeper layers groundwater, compounding risks. review scrutinizes abundance, types, shapes evaluating their impacts suggesting future research directions. Statistical analysis reveals higher concentrations (271 Particles/kg dry weight) than (34.6 Particles/kg). Strong correlations between (R2 = 0.95) underscore significant influence application on The p-value 0.0001 indicates a correlation MP amounts sludge, while 0.47 suggests no association wastewater sludge. Research confirms that properties, microbial communities, characteristics, contingent attributes conditions.
