ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs), which are emerging pollutants in terrestrial ecosystems, could potentially impact plant growth. One of the least explored aspects crop development is seed germination, a crucial stage plant's lifecycle. This study conducted soil cultivation trials to investigate effects 1% (w/w) concentrations polyethylene (PET), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS) MPs on rice growth over 15‐day period. Parameters such as fresh weight, shoot height, root length, chlorophyll levels, identification roots were observed. The findings revealed accumulation 6–9 MP items roots. PET inhibited elongation (15%–20%), reduced height (15%–30%), decreased weight (12%–37%). PET, PP, PS contamination content (15%–43%), b (21%–41%), total (11%–40%) leaves. enhances our understanding ecotoxicological these three types rice. utilization this data will further inform MPs' behavior vegetation provide valuable insights into their land‐based impacts.

The fate of black biodegradable mulch film (MF) based on starch and poly(butylene-adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) in agricultural soil is investigated herein. Pristine (BIO-0) UV-aged samples (BIO-A192) were buried for 16 months at an experimental field southern Italy. Visual, physical, chemical, morphological, mechanical analyses carried out before after burial. Film residues the form macro- microplastics analyzed end trial. Progressive deterioration both pristine samples, with surface loss alterations properties, occurred from 42 days After 478 days, apparent BIO-0 BIO-A192 films decreased by 57 % 66 %, respectively. Burial determined a rapid depletion polymeric blend, especially BIO-A192, while degradation polyester phase was slower. Upon burial, enrichment aromatic moieties PBAT observed, as well release to soil. analysis MF products extracted (0.006–0.008 mass samples) revealed predominant presence adipate moieties. about 23 17 initial amount respectively, This comprehensive study underscores complexity biodegradation phenomena that involve new generation field. different biodegradability components, climate, conditions did not strictly meet parameters required standard test method devised MFs, have significantly influenced their rate. finding further emphasizes importance implementing experiments accurately assess real effects MFs health overall agroecosystem sustainability.

The soil microplastics pollution problem is becoming more and urgent every year. PVC a widely used material, consequently it possible that are significant contributor to pollution, especially in industrial soils. At the same time, usually contains many different chemical additives have ability migrate surface during aging. This review devoted summarizing results of studies on prevalence, ecotoxicological effects, features analytical process for detection microplastics. There evidence adversely affect ecosystem by leaching harmful substances with aging, affecting some animals, plants, microbial communities, enzymatic activity biogeochemical cycles. However, there insufficient data this issue further research needed. approaches analytics steps containing microplastics, its as well complexity matrix, must be taken into account when selecting protocol.
