Although the study of microplastics in aquatic environment incorporates a diversity research fields, it is still its infancy many aspects while comparable topics have been studied other disciplines for decades. In particular, extensive sedimentology can provide valuable insights to guide future research. To advance our understanding comparability natural sediments with microplastics, we take an interdisciplinary look at existing literature describing particle properties, transport processes, sampling techniques and ecotoxicology. Based on analysis, define seven goals that are essential improve be tackled by learning from sediment research, identify relevant tasks achieve each goal. These address (1) description microplastic particles, (2) interaction environmental substances, (3) vertical distribution (4) erosion deposition behaviour (5) impact biota transport, (6) methods (7) toxicity.

Southeast Asia is considered to have some of the highest levels marine plastic pollution in world. It therefore vitally important increase our understanding impacts and risks ecosystems essential services they provide support development mitigation measures region. An interdisciplinary, international network experts (Australia, Indonesia, Ireland, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, United Kingdom, Vietnam) set a research agenda for region, synthesizing current knowledge highlighting areas further Asia. Using an inductive method, 21 questions emerged under five non-predefined key themes, grouping them according which: (1) characterise Asia; (2) explore its movement fate across region; (3) describe biological chemical modifications undergoes; (4) detail environmental, social, economic impacts; and, finally, (5) target regional policies possible solutions. Questions relating these priority highlight importance better pollution, degradation, it can generate communities different ecosystem services. Knowledge aspects will help actions which currently suffer from transboundary problems, lack responsibility, inaction tackle issue point source Being profoundly affected by Asian countries opportunity test effectiveness innovative socially inclusive changes governance, as well both high low-tech solutions, offer insights actionable models rest

Microplastic pollution as an environmental risk exacerbating the greenhouse effect and climate change: a review

Carbon Research, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 3(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 26, 2024

Abstract Microplastics are polymer-based materials with carbon as their main framework. During degradation, they release greenhouse gases such dioxide and methane. Additionally, environmental microplastics can enter plant tissues, triggering oxidative stress in cells, adversely affecting photosynthesis, metabolism, gene expression, other growth parameters. This reduction efficiency sequestering utilizing atmospheric indirectly impacts global cycling, exacerbating the effect. Furthermore, significantly alter soil structure composition of microbial communities, emissions dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, thus promoting gas emissions. Increasing research suggests a mutual reinforcement between microplastic pollution climate warming, where exacerbates rise average temperature leads to resuspension sediments, intensifying environment. article primarily focuses on different ecosystems relationship warming. It summarizes effects marine, terrestrial, ecosystems, well mechanisms by which change affect ecosystem services. By delving into intricate connection emissions, this paper aims raise awareness caused calls for further change, ultimate goal protecting human health. Graphical
