Abstract Soil and groundwater contamination has always been a global concern. Contaminants are migrated transformed in the soil environments, which turn pose potential environmental risks to humans. This paper describes four typical contaminants, including heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, microplastics, perfluorinated polyfluoroalkyl substances. Based on systematic summary of sources, hazards, migration behaviors these various existing remediation methods analyzed, advantages disadvantages different discussed. Finally, future research prospects described, significance study contaminant subsurface environment is emphasized. can help provide theoretical technical support for removal further improve rate actual sites.

Chemically, microplastics (MPs) are synthetic materials composed of plastic monomers and additives vary in size from 0.1 to 5000 μm. Due their chemical stability the widespread use plastics for various purposes, MP contamination environment has increased dramatically, leading daily consumer products as well. Although previous studies have reported environmental impacts MPs, only a few highlighted occurrence MPs food possible effects on human health. Recent investigations identified particles drinking water other beverages, seafood, plant products, salt, sugar, honey, raising an alarm over safety quality these items. Ingestion, inhalation, dermal contact such goods common routes through which may enter body can several deleterious health including oxidative stress, inflammation, immunotoxicity, risk neoplasia, cellular metabolism impairment, neurotoxicity, gut microbiome dysbiosis, disruption reproductive system among others. A collective approach employing source control, recycling, biodegradable plastics, strengthening legislation, bioremediation could be promising sustainable solution control pollution. The key challenge appears standarize detection methods along with reducing well environment. Therefore, this review focuses current analysis, potential impacts, strategies mitigate It also adds novel findings, knowledge gaps, recommendations that guide future research field.

In recent years, soil pollution by massive accumulation of heavy metals (HMs), microplastics, and refractory hydrocarbon chemicals has become an emerging global concern, drawing worldwide attention. These pollutants influence diversity hindering the reproduction, abundance, thereby affecting aboveground productivity. The scientific community recently emphasized contribution earthworms to metal accumulation, microplastic degradation, decomposition organic matter in soil, which helps maintain structure. This review paper aimed compile facts on how cope with effect HMs, plant polyphenols so that vermiremediation could be widely applied for well-being ecosystem environmentalists. Earthworms have special surface-active metabolites their guts called drilodefensins help them defend themselves against oxidative action polyphenols. They also combat effects toxic other compounds elevating antioxidant activities enzymes converting into harmless or useful nutrients. Moreover, act as biofilters, bioindicators, bioaccumulators, transformers polyphenols, pollutant hydrocarbons. Microorganisms (fungi bacteria) earthworms' gut assist fixation, transformation these toxicants prevent effects. As a potential organism application ecotoxicology, it is recommended propagate agricultural fields; isolate, culture enormously industry, inoculate polluted abate toxicity minimizing health caused well enhance productivity crops.

The expanded uses of bioplastics require understanding the potential health risks associated with their exposure. To address this issue, Drosophila melanogaster as a versatile terrestrial in vivo model was employed, and polylactic acid nanoplastics (PLA-NPLs), proxy for bioplastics, were tested material model. Effects determined larvae exposed 4 days to different concentrations (25, 100, 400 μg/mL) 463.9 ± 129.4 nm PLA-NPLs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) scanning microscope (SEM) approaches permitted detection PLA-NPLs midgut lumen larvae, interacting symbiotic bacteria. Enzymatic vacuoles observed carriers, collecting enabling crossing peritrophic membrane, finally internalizing into enterocytes. Although no toxic effects egg-to-adult survival, cell uptake causes cytological disturbances formation large vacuoles. translocation across intestinal barrier demonstrated by presence hemolymph. PLA-NPL exposure triggered damage, oxidative stress, DNA inflammation responses, evaluated via wide set marker genes. Collectively, these structural molecular interferences caused generated high levels stress damage hemocytes larvae. point out need further studies aiming deepen before adopting safe plastic alternative.

A growing number of studies have demonstrated that microplastic (MP) contamination is widespread in terrestrial ecosystems. wide array MPs made conventional, fossil-based polymers differing size and shape has been detected soils worldwide. Recently, also bioplastics found soils, but there a dearth information concerning their toxicity on soil organisms. This study aimed at exploring the potential induced by exposure for 28 days to irregular shaped differently sized (polyethylene terephthalate – PET) bioplastic (polylactic acid PLA) polymer earthworm Eisenia foetida. Two amounts (1 g 10 g/kkg soil, corresponding 0.1% 1% weight) both MP types were administered earthworms. multi-level approach was used investigate MP-induced effects sub-individual individual level. Changes activity antioxidant detoxifying enzymes, as well lipid peroxidation levels, investigated specific time-points (i.e., 7, 14, 21 days) responses. Histological analyses performed assess tissue level, while change digging considered proxy behavioral effects. Earthworms ingested polymers. PET did not induce any adverse effect none biological levels. In contrast, PLA caused modulation earthworms' oxidative status showed bell-shaped superoxide dismutase coupled with an increase glutathione peroxidase activity. However, neither damage, nor alteration occurred. These findings suggest bio-based can cause higher compared MPs.

The escalating production and ubiquitous presence of plastics their degradation products, such as microplastics nanoplastics, pose a significant environmental threat. Microplastics enter the soil through various pathways, including agricultural practices, plastic degradation, wastewater disposal. Herein, we discussed harmful effects on physicochemical properties soil, plant growth, terrestrial fauna, microbial activity, potentially affecting stability nutrient cycle ecosystem. This review delves into recent advances in potential microplastic bioremediation approaches, phytoremediation strategies utilized by plants associated microbes to accumulate, immobilize, even degrade microplastics. Rhizosphere microorganisms play crucial role microplastics, utilizing them carbon source. Soil animals like earthworms, snails, mealworms can also contribute significantly ingesting degrading gut microbiota. Various microorganisms, bacteria fungi, different with help enzymes laccase, esterase, peroxidase, oxidoreductase, hydrolases depolymerise larger polymer chains smaller units that ultimately mineralize CO2, H2O, CH4. Genetic engineering synthetic biology are used create strains enhanced mineralization capabilities. It holds promise for efficient but requires further research real-world application scalable implementation. Overall, this comprehensively highlights approaches future recommendations tackling pollution. Further development enhancing biodegradation efficiency scaling up strategy protection.
