Biofilm-Developed Microplastics As Vectors of Pollutants in Aquatic Environments

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2021, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Сен. 23, 2021

Microplastics are a big and growing part of global pollution, which has aroused increasing concern in recent years because their large amount, wide distribution, adverse effects. can sorb various pollutants from aquatic environments act as vectors pollutants. Most studies mainly focused on the virgin microplastics. However, microplastics be easily colonized by microorganisms, form biofilm, will influence behaviors potential risks The formation biofilm its effects properties have been studied before, but sorption transport behaviors, for pollutants' transfer not reviewed. In this paper, role biofilm-developed was thoroughly analyzed summarized. First, microplastics, compositions microorganisms influencing factors, property changes after attachment Second, onto is discussed. Third, vector analyzed. We concluded that could provide unique substrates microorganisms. Biofilm-developed more than ones, then to introduce attached organisms.

Microplastics with adsorbed contaminants: Mechanisms and Treatment

Environmental Challenges, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 3, С. 100042 - 100042

Опубликована: Фев. 10, 2021

Plastic pollution has been a significant and widespread global issue, the recent COVID-19 pandemic attributed to its worsening effect as plastics have contaminated with deadly infectious virus. Microplastics (MPs) may played role vector that carries hazardous microbes such emerging bacterial threats (i.e. antibiotic resistant bacteria) viruses (e.g., coronavirus); this causes great concern over microplastics contaminants. Mitigation treatment of MPs are challenging because range factors including but not limited physicochemical properties composition pH salinity solution. Despite heterogeneous nature aquatic systems, research overlooked interactions between contaminants under environmental conditions, degradation pathways adsorbed contaminants, and, especially, in efficiency MP through membrane filtration, comparison other methods. This review aims (1) analyze an assortment could influence removal mechanisms contaminant adsorption on MPs, (2) identify influencing filtration (3) examine fate transport (4) evaluate contaminant-adsorbing methods, (5) draw conclusions future outlook based literature analysis.

Plastic Pollution, Waste Management Issues, and Circular Economy Opportunities in Rural Communities

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 14(1), С. 20 - 20

Опубликована: Дек. 21, 2021

Rural areas are exposed to severe environmental pollution issues fed by industrial and agricultural activities combined with poor waste sanitation management practices, struggling achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in line Agenda 2030. communities examined through a “dual approach” as both contributors receivers of plastic leakage into natural environment (through air–water–soil–biota nexus). Despite emerging trend research, this paper, we identify few studies investigating rural communities. Therefore, proxy analysis peer-reviewed literature is required outline significant gaps related regions. This work focuses on key stages such (i) effects communities, (ii) generated (iii) development sector low- middle-income countries SDGs, (iv) circular economy opportunities reduce areas. We conclude that must be involved future research help decision makers public health threats, catalyze initiatives around world, including less developed

Review of microplastic sources, transport pathways and correlations with other soil stressors: a journey from agricultural sites into the environment

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 9(1)

Опубликована: Фев. 12, 2022

Abstract This paper explores different interactions and processes involved in the transport of microplastics from agricultural systems to surrounding environments. We conducted an exhaustive review most recent scientific papers on microplastic terrestrial systems, with emphasis systems. In following sections, several aspects this problem are discussed, namely (i) direct indirect sources microplastics, (ii) biotic abiotic transportation environment, (iii) modelling environment (iv) facilitated chemicals pathogens combination plastic particles. There is very little information available concerning environment; therefore, more research needed gain a better understanding how these take place. The novelty lies assessing occurs plastisphere (cellular) landscape level areas. Graphical

PET microplastics affect human gut microbiota communities during simulated gastrointestinal digestion, first evidence of plausible polymer biodegradation during human digestion

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 12(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 11, 2022

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are a widely recognized global problem due to their prevalence in natural environments and the food chain. However, impact of microplastics on human microbiota possible biotransformation gastrointestinal tract have not been well reported. To evaluate potential risks at digestive level, completely passing single dose polyethylene terephthalate (PET) through was simulated by combining harmonized static model dynamic simgi model, which recreates different regions physiological conditions. PET MPs started several biotransformations and, colon, appeared be structurally from original particles. We report that feeding with alters microbial colonic community composition hypothesize some members could adhere surface promoting formation biofilms. The work presented here indicates indeed capable digestive-level health effects. Considering this evidence increasing exposure consumer foods beverages, plastics functionality gut microbiome biodegradation digestion intestinal bacteria merits critical investigation.
