Microplastics (MPs) have been continuously accumulating in soil, posing significant environmental concerns due to their potential toxicity and role as pollutant vectors. Effective monitoring of MPs soils requires appropriate methods for extraction, identification quantification. This comparative review systematically examined various used MP analysis from solid matrix environments, highlighting the advantages disadvantages each technique. Soils are heterogeneous complex matrices, which can interact differently with MPs, rendering separation a challenge. Key challenges include interactions between soil organic matter detection limitations smaller size interfere accurate extraction. Specialized techniques devices required precise Digestion be effective removing matter, although harsh digestion degrade MPs. To improve liability analysis, it is critical minimize steps that may reduce accuracy such filtration, inappropriate sample size. Conversely, adjusting or combining enhance precision analysis. offers forward-looking perspective by advocating extraction approaches, thus providing more accurate, reproducible holistic framework soils. These insights anticipated guide future research promote standardized protocols efforts.

The Science of The Total Environment, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 912, С. 169026 - 169026

Опубликована: Дек. 4, 2023

The improper management of solid waste, particularly the dumping untreated municipal poses a growing global challenge in both developed and developing nations. generation leachate is one significant issues that arise from this practice, it can have harmful impacts on environment public health. This paper presents an overview primary waste types generate landfill their characteristics. includes examining distribution landfills globally how they changed over time, which provide valuable insights into potential pollutants given area trends. With lack specific regulations concerns regarding environmental health impacts, also focuses emerging contaminants. Furthermore, ecological leachate, along with associated risks, are analyzed. applications suggested interventions future directions discussed manuscript. Finally, work addresses research studies, attention, for first time to potentialities artificial intelligence offer management, applications.

Synthesis, Modification, and Applications of Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)

Polymer-Plastics Technology and Materials, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 40

Опубликована: Ноя. 1, 2024

One of the polymers with biggest production volume is poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) considering their versatility, durability, lightweight, as well low cost production, plastics have recently become an essential part everyone's daily life. However, increased and usage poses significant environmental problems because incomplete utilization, a lengthy biodegradation period, detrimental effects on living things. This study examines latest findings in PVC research, including its properties, polymerization, modification, recycling, diverse applications. It has been proposed that during along application both inorganic organic thermal stabilizers, can mitigate some basic limiting characteristics PVC. chemistry extended by vast continuous study, mainly chemical transformations this polymeric material. describes modification using different materials active modifying agent. The latter included substitutions, modifications, nucleophilic radicals, removal or dehydrochlorination, grafting polymerizations. PVC's consequences are examined, overview functionalization provided article, discussion main reactivity trends lens recycling.
