Microplastics (MP) and nanoplastics (NP) contamination of the terrestrial environment is a growing concern worldwide thought to impact soil biota, particularly micro mesofauna community, by various processes that may contribute global change in systems. Soils act as long-term sink for MP, accumulating these contaminants increasing their adverse impacts on ecosystems. Consequently, whole ecosystem impacted microplastic pollution, which also threatens human health potential transfer food web. In general, ingestion MP different concentrations can adversely affect development reproduction, impacting moves horizontally vertically because movement organisms disturbance caused plants. However, effects micro-and are largely overlooked. Here, we give most recent information forgotten microfauna communities (protists, tardigrades, rotifers, nematodes, collembola mites). More than 50 studies focused between 1990 2022 have been reviewed. plastic pollution does not directly survival organisms, except under co-contaminated plastics increase (e.g. tire-tread particles springtails). Besides, they at oxidative stress reduced reproduction potworms, springtails or It was observed could passive transporters, shown mites. Finally, this review discusses how micro- play key role facilitating (bio-)degradation NP through systems and, therefore, depths. research should be mixtures, community level experiments.

It has been established that various anthropogenic contaminants have already reached all the world's pristine locations, including polar regions. While some of those contaminants, such as lead and soot, are decreasing in environment, thanks to international regulations, other novel emerge. Plastic pollution shown a durable pollutant, and, since recently, smaller plastics particles identified environments (air, water soil). Considerable research exists measuring 5 mm micrometre size range (microplastics). However, far less is known about debris fragmented sub-micrometre (nanoplastics). As these small light, it expected they most remote places on Earth, e.g. transported across globe by air movement. In this work, we used method based Thermal Desorption - Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry (TD-PTR-MS) detect measure nanoplastics different types sampled from Greenland firn core (T2015-A5) sea ice Antarctica. We identify polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Tire wear nanoparticles 14 m deep PE, PP PET Nanoplastics mass concentrations were average 13.2 ng/mL for samples 52.3 Antarctic ice. further discuss possible sources found at which likely involve complex processes plastic circulation (emission both land surface, atmospheric marine circulation).

Microplastics are emerging persistent pollutants which have attracted increasing attention worldwide. Although microplastics been widely detected in aquatic environments, their presence soil ecosystems remains largely unexplored. Plastic debris accumulates farmland, causing serious environmental problems, may directly affect food substances or indirectly the members each trophic level of chain. This review summarizes origins, migration, and fate agricultural soils discusses interaction between components farmland from perspectives toxicology accumulation deduces impacts on by linking organismal response to an ecological role. The effects ecosystem function also discussed, emphasizing supply products, chain pathways, carbon deposition, nitrogen cycling water conservation, as microplastic pollution will for a long period, posing risk. Finally, several directions future research proposed, is important reducing effect systems.

Over the years, vaste expansion of plastic manufacturing has dramatically increased environmental impact microplastics [MPs] and nanoplastics [NPs], making them a threat to marine terrestrial biota because they contain endocrine disrupting chemicals [EDCs] other harmful compounds. MPs NPs have deleteriouse impacts on mammalian components such as hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, testes, ovaries. absorb act transport medium for bisphenols, phthalates, polybrominated diphenyl ether, polychlorinated biphenyl organotin, perfluorinated compounds, dioxins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organic contaminants, heavy metals, which are commonly used additives in production. As EDCs not covalently bonded plastics, can easily leach into milk, water, liquids affecting system mammals upon exposure. The toxicity induced by is size-dependent, smaller particles better absorption capacity larger surface area, releasing more EDC toxic chemicals. Various contained or carried share structural similarities with specific hormone receptors; hence interfere normal receptors, altering hormonal action glands. This review demonstrates size-dependent MPs’ bioaccumulation, distribution, translocation potential hazards gland.

A large number of individual studies and meta-analyses have shown that microplastics (MPs) affect soil ecosystems. However, the effects different concentrations types MPs on ecosystem are still unclear. Here, a comprehensive meta-analysis was performed to examine responses 19 variables, associated with properties, microbes, enzymes, fauna, MPs, based 114 peer-reviewed studies. The results showed addition significantly reduced organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), NH4+-N, pH, diversity bacteria, increased dissolved (DOC), fungi enzyme activities, especially enzymes related biogeochemical cycle. We further discussed exerted negative including survival, growth, reproduction, concentration rather than type, biggest driving factor causing toxicity affecting animals. More importantly, were main DOC, TN, NO3--N, phosphorus (TP), available (AP), fungi, whereas factors reflected in SOC, activities. This study aimed evaluate response ecosystems largest for MPs.
