Microplastics in the Amur tiger's habitat: Occurrence, characteristics, and risk assessment

Journal of Hazardous Materials, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 493, С. 138380 - 138380

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging environmental pollutants that pose a significant threat to wildlife within forest ecosystems. However, the quantity and types of MPs in habitats remain unclear. This study is first assess distribution Amur tiger habitat northeast China. Our results showed were detected soil, water, atmosphere, forage plants, ungulate top predator feces ecosystem, respectively. The average diameter all was 44.99 ± 34.80μm. predominant polymers found samples polyamide, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane. Certain sample shared similar MP polymer type distributions, indicating potential links their sources transfer pathways. Consequently, these findings provide some new insights on pollution problem prompt us consider how control manage conservation.

Macroplastic and Microparticle Pollution in Beach Sediments from Urias Coastal Lagoon (Northwest Mexico)

Toxics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 12(6), С. 439 - 439

Опубликована: Июнь 18, 2024

This study investigates the occurrence and characteristics of macroplastic polymer microparticles in Urias coastal lagoon’s beach sediments, northwest Mexico. Coastal lagoons, productive vulnerable ecosystems, are impacted significantly by anthropogenic activities, leadings to their pollution various contaminants, including plastics. Our research involved sampling sediments from four sites within lagoon that were influenced different human activities such as fishing, aquaculture, thermoelectric power plant operations, industrial domestic wastewater discharge. methodology included collecting macroplastics sediment samples, followed laboratory analyses identify plastic debris’ size, shape, color, chemical composition. The results indicated a notable presence items (144), predominantly bags, styrofoam, caps made polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), terephthalate (PET). mainly fibers, with cotton polyester most common polymers, suggesting significant contribution clothing-related waste. dominant colors blue transparent. High densities observed areas slower water exchange. findings highlight urgent need for better waste management practices mitigate preserving ecological economic functions.
