Abstract Contamination by microplastics (MPs) has the potential to rank among world’s most significant environmental issues. Despite fact that MP contamination is a global problem, little known about time variation of MPs in agricultural soil and its faunal communities which represent key role risk assessment. This study represents first field investigation regarding concentrations ecosystem Egypt. Our investigates seasonal fluctuations common fauna citrus orchard ( Citrus sinensis ) Egypt’s Sohag Governorate. Moreover, this work aimed identify how feeding strategies body size selected affect no. ingested. The greatest mean concentration was observed summer (664 ± 90.20 items/kg) dry weight. However lowest recorded autumn (354 70.92 items/kg). Aporrectodea caliginosa (earthworms) more contaminated with (6.84 2.5 item/individual annually) than Anisolabis maritima (earwigs) (2.06 0.86 annually). When comparing between taxa without considering organisms, earwigs showed higher (ranged from 117.93 5.23 244.38 4.57 items/gm wet weight) earthworms 25.62 2.43 51.66 4.05 weight). results found blue red colors were predominant fauna. Also, polyester fibers (PES) popular type microplastics, followed fractions polyethylene (PE) polypropylene (PP). Interestingly, reduction particles present compared those soil. Pollution load index (PLI) value varied across seasons, due reduced abundance. Hazard (H) indicates moderate (level III) high abundance low hazard score (4) all seasons. starting point for further studies on impact organisms various soils.

Ecological risk of microplastic toxicity to earthworms in soil: A bibliometric analysis

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 11

Опубликована: Янв. 25, 2023

Accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in soil is a serious environmental concern. Addition exogenous MPs can alter structure and physicochemical properties material transport soil. are particularly toxic to earthworms, which ecosystem engineers, exacerbate ecological risks; however, there lack comprehensive in-depth analyses how exhibit toxicity to/towards earthworms. In this study, we report bibliometric analysis 77 peer-reviewed papers published before December 2021 systematically analyze the addition contributes earthworm clarify historical development research hotspots field. We found that first, polyethylene polystyrene most common materials used study effects on Second, mechanisms earthworms mainly involve histopathological damage oxidative stress, as well serving carriers complex pollutants (e.g., heavy metals organic pollutants) through combined adsorption–desorption. Third, stress typical reaction process When content exceeds 0.1%, growth affected, induced, resulting neural DNA damage. Based studies, prospects for future risks posed by have also been discussed. Overall, our findings help risk reveal mechanism their effects, provide theoretical basis studies focusing establishing healthy ecologically sustainable environment.
