Microplastics (MPs) are recognized as emerging contaminants due to their small size, hazardous nature, and widespread abundance in the environmental compartments. As largest sink of MPs, oceans currently study's main focus. However, question about MP particles applies all niches, including natural wetlands. Unfortunately, wetlands have been not explored much comparison ocean terrestrial ecosystem for occurrence its toxicity. Meanwhile, these offer important ecological services a high biodiversity, both which could be compromised by rising levels contamination such systems. limited research possible repercussions still lacking. Even there uncertainties MPs regarding distribution fate. Since potential trap plastics act it becomes essential investigate wetland toxicological risks This review summarised source, consequences The also illustrated advancements technologies aiming remove plastic debris from environment.

Climate change is creating new challenges for water supply worldwide, making the search sources of vital. As mine could serve as a potential source, this study investigated presence microplastics in from terminated deep mines largest coal basin Czech Republic, well nearby shallow wells. The particles found were analyzed size, polymer composition, color and morphology using ImageJ tool, infrared spectroscopy with Fourier transform (FTIR) an optical stereomicroscope digital camera. Microplastics detected all tested sites. Their range accounted 2.5-17.5 items/L samples 2.5-20 samples, fibers being dominant type. average width wells amounted to 58 µm; 71 µm, length 655 501 µm area 22067 µm2; 28613 µm2, respectively. Blue colour was prevalent, among materials, both cases, plastic coated paper Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), Polyester (PES), Tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoro (Propyl Vinyl Ether) - Copolymer (TFE-PPVE), polypropylene (PP). research provides first evidence microplastics' underground waters same area. data suggest that it almost impossible find free microplastic contamination. In context, atmospheric contamination ventilation infiltration through identified sources, while soil rock formations unlikely given geological composition. results can relevant basis further on waters. Additionally, conclusions advance development remediation technologies their implementation practice, particularly light upcoming legislation.

Abstract The current study focuses on the sources and formations of microplastics (MPs) in receiving environments, addressing various analytical methods used for detection characterization MPs water wastewater, including particle size distribution analysis, FTIR, Raman, SEM‐EDS, thermo (Pyro GC‐MS, TGA‐MS, TED‐GC‐MS, TGA‐SPE/TDS‐GC‐MS) combine techniques (Tagging method, Liquid chromatography, SEM dispersive X‐ray spectrometer). fills a gap literature by evaluating advantages limitations advanced methods, addition to commonly like SEM, providing perspective other significant approaches. By examining comparing different identify detect wastewater research guides scientists making informed choices when selecting specific method. A better understanding these will inform future facilitate more effective management potential environmental impacts human health risks. This also contributes significantly preserving resources, health, establishing sustainable environment encouraging generation actionable information assess risks develop strategies reducing their presence.

Water is a necessity of life that needs to be treated, protected, and conserved. Bibliometric analysis as an indispensable roadmap in science technology was conducted on nanoadsorbent research for wastewater treatment. Data sourced from the Scopus®database 1997 2020 were employed this study. The co-authorship authors, organizations, countries, co-citation citation documents sources, co-occurrence author keywords performed using VOS viewer® software. A total 4873 papers published treatment which grew gradually over years. This translated scientific publications 689 (14.14%), 894 (18.35%), 1022 (20.97%) 2018, 2019, respectively. China leading country (1924 papers) with University Chinese Academy Sciences accounting 28 top-ranked organization while Wang Y. highest number articles (127). These results revealed importance cross-national international cooperation field Environmental Science (2497 ranked top-subject category. sources showed Y., Gao L. (2007), "Environmental Technology" journal citations 3492, 2508, 13651, respectively, highest. most used keyword "Wastewater treatment" 593 occurrences. Research hotspots nanoadsorbents summed up application decontaminate different carcinogenic, mutagenic, toxic compounds discharged various processes. Future lies implementation hospital effluents, household washing endocrine descriptive chemicals, other emerging contaminants. Conclusively, work suggests some important ways forward nanotechnology ensuring clean water sustainability developing developed countries.

Microplastics (MPs) (< 5 mm) are a growing environmental problem and have garnered significant global interest by scientists policy makers. Coastal ecosystems vulnerable to MP pollution, assessing their sources, fate, transport in the environment is imperative for marine ecosystem health. Data sediment still limited, particularly Pearl River Estuary (PRE) China. Here, we assessed abundance, characteristics, risks of MPs sediments from PRE. abundance ranged 2.05 × 103 items ·kg-1 7.75 (dry weight), white black were dominant colors. The majority (> 64.12%) detected <0.85mm primarily consisted pellets (36.84%) fragments (29.65%). Three polymer types identified Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) including polyethylene (PE), terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP). Meanwhile, polyurethane (PU) sponge was reported first time this study area. Observations surface morphology typical using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed that all exhibited varying degrees erosion, characterized cracks, folds, bumpy structures. Furthermore, different concentrations heavy metal elements found on surfaces some MPs, potentially adsorbed surrounding environment. Based type quantity polymers identified, classified risk contamination PRE as category III, indicating severe contamination. Results investigation may serve an effective model other estuaries facing similar pollution regimes provides valuable information assessment.
