The mass production, continual usage, and improper disposal of plastic products have resulted in significant environmental pollution. larger polymers gradually break down into smaller particles called microplastics (<5 mm). Existing studies on the occurrence ecological impact focused aquatic ecosystems, with very little attention given to soil environment. represents a natural sink for from sources such as sewage sludge, landfills, mulch agricultural activities, fertilizers, municipal wastewater effluent. current study, therefore, provides an overview existing knowledge microplastic pollution focusing microbial community degradation systematically identify gaps be filled further research. Future research challenges addressed include detailed monitoring distribution under different land uses, exploring diverse microorganisms their environments biodegradation potential using cultivation-dependent independent approaches, understanding mechanism impacts contributions additives, products, other adsorbed pollutants community.

Microplastics are often found in the greatest quantities terrestrial environments, addition to those along coasts and oceans. They may get into water bodies from a variety of different sources such as deposition atmosphere, runoff polluted land, effluent municipal treatment plants. The objective this study is conduct comprehensive evaluation existing scientific literature related microplastics wastewater. Specifically, focus on investigating possible impacts wastewater containing both aquatic biota. Additionally, attempts identify any gaps current research, with intention informing future research priorities field. A selection over 200 papers subject microplastic pollution, covering years 2000–2023, has been selected prominent database. These encompass wide range topics, including recent advancements wastewater, their origins, behaviour potential adverse various organisms animals, soil microbial communities, plants, finally humans. results showed that using for irrigation can lead presence ecosystems facilitate transmission contaminants by interacting pollutants. findings also indicate although there significant investigation marine microplastics, prevalence contamination freshwater environments comparatively limited requires greater attention better understanding fate, transport, consequences relation water, qualities, polymer composition, forms, types land use.

Abstract Agricultural environment is often contaminated with various chemicals (e.g., pesticides, heavy metals) and microplastics due to the uses of plastic products. The effects chemical contaminants or on terrestrial have been extensively studied, but studies co-presence are relatively limited. This study was set investigate effect (i.e., low-density polyethylene (LDPE) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) microplastic films) cadmium (Cd) procymidone (PCM)) in soil lettuce growth Cd PCM uptake by using pot tests. leaf lengths were not affected presence only PCM, rates change number adversely PCM. LDPE PVC at concentrations used this did significant impacts growth. But resulted negligible increases length time, although growths statistically similar Cd- PCM-contaminated soils regardless microplastics. results suggest that adverse can be intensified microplastics, different depending types promoted supported tendency increased absorption Overall, shows need for management both may reside agricultural environment.

Objectives:“Environmental Blindspots” are newly defined as a type of social problem within the realm various environmental pollution and climate issues, wherein they pushed down in priority due to factors such corporate profit, consumer preferences, government regulations, consequently remaining unresolved. This ultimately leads citizens experience sense guilt. Despite significant influence wield on welfare current future generations, issues characterized by blindspots (such micro-hazardous substances like microplastics hormones) fail become major considerations societal decision-making. Consequently, not actively discussed community. absence consensus these reflects situation. As result, repeatedly make choices that do prioritize values perception powerlessness stemming from environmentally friendly options, belief issue is too immense tackle individually, lack knowledge about specific actions take for problem-solving, among other factors. In this process, involuntary deliberate emotions Since collectively experienced community comprising citizens, businesses, government, solutions must also be derived through collective thinking. review has endeavored incorporate efforts.Methods:In review, develop more effective interdisciplinary research methodology addressing previously mentioned ten researchers Environmental Engineering Social Sciences fields at center convergence (SEBIS) collaborated, leveraging their respective expertise document literature survey results. Firstly, reported behavior, toxicity, distribution, regulatory status substances, namely (micro)plastics volatile organic compounds, which subjects Blindspot Research Center. Secondly, compiled relevant treatment technologies. Subsequently, described socio-structural causes science methodologies.Results Discussion:To address blindspots, key issue, it necessary advance technologies alongside responsible production businesses enhancement citizen awareness. It crucial institutionalize policies public domain achieve this. Understanding structural roles essential. requires ethical awareness active participation, campaigns education, well incentivize technological innovations companies.Conclusion:In an being addressed comprehensively first time.

Microplastic pollution poses a significant threat to environmental and human health. This study investigated the toxicological genotoxic effects of various microplastic types (polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), (PE)) on plant animal models. Aqueous extracts microplastics in different size fractions (0.175 mm, 0.3 1 2 3 mm) were evaluated for their impact barley seed germination cell division. Results indicated that smaller exhibited higher toxicity, particularly PP PE. Significant reductions rates root growth observed, along with increased chromosomal aberrations cells. Furthermore, migration formaldehyde, known toxicant, from exceeded permissible limits. These findings highlight potential risks associated pollution, drinking water sources. Future research should focus long-term health impacts exposure, including carcinogenic potential, explore synergistic other pollutants. Stricter regulations advancements treatment technologies are urgently needed mitigate these risks.
