Plastics are commonly used for packaging in the food industry. The most popular thermoplastic materials that have found such applications polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), and polystyrene (PS). Unfortunately, plastic is disposable. As a consequence, significant amounts of waste generated, entering environment, undergoing degradation processes. They can occur under influence mechanical forces, temperature, light, chemical, biological factors. These factors present synergistic or antagonistic effects. result their action, microplastics formed, which undergo further fragmentation decomposition into small-molecule compounds. During process, various additives at plastics' processing stage also be released. Both negatively affect human animal health. Determination negative consequences on environment health not possible without knowing course processes products. In this article, we sources microplastics, causes places formation, transport particles, plastics often production storage, affecting said its

Microplastics (MPs), miniscule plastic particles measuring less than 5 mm in size, have become a concern terrestrial ecosystems, with primarily agricultural and wetland soils being the highest loadings. The adverse effect of MPs might lead to changes physicochemical biological characteristics soil including properties, microbial communities, plants, as well potential or affirmed correlations among them. Therefore, understanding risks effects MPs, particularly within soil-plant-microbe context is challenging subject substantial scientific inquiry. This comprehensive review focused on rhizosphere plant-microbe symbiotic relationships, implications for plant growth ecosystem-level nutrient fluxes. alter community composition, enzymatic activities rhizosphere, influencing availability uptake by plants. These can disrupt interactions, such mycorrhizal associations nitrogen-fixing symbioses, ultimately impacting cycling nutrients ecosystems. Furthermore, we elaborate relationships carrying Future research directions solutions microplastics menace acknowledging combined other contaminants, advanced technologies identification quantification, engineering remediation. knowledge MPs-induced impacts interactions essential generate mitigating actions environmental management conservation.

New insights into the distribution, potential source and risk of microplastics in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Environment International, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 175, С. 107956 - 107956

Microplastics (MPs) as emerging contaminants have become a major global concern, however, the distribution and origin of MPs in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) their impacts on ecosystem are poorly known. Hence, we systematically evaluated profile representative metropolitan locations Lhasa Huangshui Rivers scenic sites Namco Qinghai Lake. The average abundance water samples was 7020 items/m3, which 34 52 times higher than those for sediment (206.7 items/m3) soil (134.7 items/m3), respectively. River had highest levels, followed by Lake, Namco. Human activities rather altitude salinity impacted areas. Besides consumption plastic products locals tourists, laundry wastewater exogenous tributary inputs, unique prayer flag culture also contributed to emission QTP. Notably, stability fragment were crucial fate. Multiple assessment models employed evaluate risk MPs. PERI model took MP concentration, background value toxicity into account, comprehensively describing differences each site. large PVC proportion Lake posed risk. Furthermore, concerns should be raised about PVC, PE PET Rivers, PC Risk quotient suggested that aged sediments slowly released biotoxic DEHP cleaned up promptly. findings offer baseline data QTP ecological risks, providing important support prioritization future control measures.
