Interaction of Environmental Pollutants with Microplastics: A Critical Review of Sorption Factors, Bioaccumulation and Ecotoxicological Effects

Toxics, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 8(2), С. 40 - 40

Опубликована: Июнь 2, 2020

Microplastics have become one of the leading environmental threats due to their persistence, ubiquity and intrinsic toxic potential. The potential harm that microplastics impose on ecosystems varies from direct effects (i.e., entanglement ingestion) ability sorb a diversity pollutants (e.g., heavy metals, persistent organic compounds or pharmaceuticals). Therefore, toxicological assessment combined sorbed can produce in biota is hottest topics toxicology field. This review aims clarify main impacts this interaction could by (1) highlighting principal factors influence sorption capacities; (2) discussing scenarios which may an essential role bioaccumulation transfer chemicals; (3) reviewing recently published studies describing caused combination chemicals. Finally, discussion regarding need for new generation presented.

Microplastics occurrence and frequency in soils under different land uses on a regional scale

The Science of The Total Environment, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 752, С. 141917 - 141917

The growing evidence of microplastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems reveals adverse effects microplastics on soil biota and plant growth. However, since large scale assessments are lacking, it is possible that the laboratory based experiments conducted have assumed unrealistic concentrations soils. In this paper we present regional data presence soils under different land uses central valley Chile, which characterized by urbanization, agricultural, mining operations. We identified four use systems having management intensities (crop lands, pastures, rangelands, natural grasslands), all somewhat prone to accumulate from sources. analyzed 240 samples Chile's valley, trying identify most probable sources microplastics. Our hypothesis was were ubiquitous environment their concentration peaks follow intensity fertilizer (phosphorus), heavy metals derived nearby operations (Zn Cu), distance roads urban areas. did find crop lands pastures (306 ± 360 184 266 particles kg−1, respectively), but not observe rangelands grasslands. Distance operations, roads, or areas increase count. observations contradict common belief relate problem more agricultural activities. our do provide sufficient source. This first study reports occurrence at a broad geographical scale. For greater insight topic studies contribute monitoring about urgently needed.

Long-Term Fertilization History Alters Effects of Microplastics on Soil Properties, Microbial Communities, and Functions in Diverse Farmland Ecosystem

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 55(8), С. 4658 - 4668

Опубликована: Март 23, 2021

Microplastics (MPs) pollution has caused a threat to soil ecosystem diversity and functioning globally. Recently, an increasing number of studies have reported effects MPs on ecosystems. However, these mainly focused bacterial communities few limited functional genes, which is why ecosystems are still not fully understood. Fertilization treatment often coinsides with exposure in practice. Here, we studied environmentally relevant concentration polyethylene properties, microbial communities, functions under different types fertilization history. Our results showed that 0.2% PE could affect pH, but this effect varied according type Long-term history alter fungal diverse farmland (P < 0.05). Soil more sensitive than exposure. greater impact the lower genes abundance increases pathogenic microorganisms. These findings provided integrated picture aid our understanding histories.

(Micro)plastics and the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 30, С. 100497 - 100497

Опубликована: Апрель 16, 2021

Since the launch of United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, SDGs have been widely adopted by governments and corporations an effort to improve their sustainability. There are 17 SDGs, comprising 169 targets, which measurable against 247 unique indicators. Despite pervasive global pollution from (micro)plastics, there is only one indicator (14.1.1b) under Goal 14, specifically related reducing impacts (micro)plastics. Reliable reporting monitoring SDG indicators present challenges for organizations implement, may be further exacerbated nature (micro)plastic if not properly monitored across these This review focused on recent literature provide a critical overview key (micro)plastics as they undermine implementation sustainable strategies action plans required achieve UN SDGs.
