Plastics are extensively used in agriculture, but their weathering and degradation generates microplastics (MPs) that can be carried by runoff into water bodies where they accumulate impact wildlife. Due to its physicochemical properties, biochar has shown promise mitigating contaminants agricultural runoff. However, few studies have examined effectiveness at removing MPs. In this study, we assessed MP pollution (>30 μm) from a farm the Mississippi Delta of (pinewood sugarcane) remove MPs aqueous solutions. Using micro-Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (µ-FTIR), observed an average 237 MPs/L (range 27–609) runoff, with most particles identified as polyethylene, polyamide, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polyarylamide. Biochar columns effectively removed samples reductions ranging 86.6% 92.6%. different sizes, shapes, types were stained Nile red dye (to facilitate observation fluorescence) quantified downward progress multiple column volumes wet/dry cycles. Smaller penetrated further, ≥90% retained ∼20 cm regardless shape, size, type. We attribute these results physical entrapment, hydrophobic behaviors, electrostatic interactions. Overall, proof-of-concept work suggests may serve cost-effective approach subsequent field warranted.

To bridge the gap in understanding soil–air microplastic emissions, here we studied transfer mechanism of microplastics with laboratory simulations using particles varying size from 1 to 5000 μm. Our findings indicate that and shape together soil type moisture levels are major determinants enrichment ratio (ER) dust, overshadowing role polymer types. Notably, pellets larger than 20 μm do not enrich while fibers, even those as large 500–5000 length, dust. Based on our ER measurement, global distribution dust aerosol production flux, made a preliminary bottom-up assessment emissions 48[0.4–1217] kilotons/year. pioneering atmospheric flux provide insights could guide future development more precise emission inventory.
